Abstract

Public rental housing (PRH) is a significant new type of affordable housing in China. The government provides PRH to solve the housing problems of low- and moderate-income households. Jobs-housing spatial mismatch exists in PRH neighborhoods because of the spatial segregation of residential areas in the urban–rural fringes and jobs in the main urban area. This type of spatial imbalance has increased commuting costs, lengthened commuting distance, worsened traffic jams, and generated other problems. This study adopts a combined method of content analysis on literature, questionnaire survey, and face-to-face interviews to measure the extent of the spatial mismatch in PRH neighborhoods. Results indicate that public transport, especially rail transit, has obvious effects on the housing affordability and job accessibility of tenants. Moreover, a close spatial interaction between housing cost and transportation cost of PRH is lacking. This study provides valuable references to the policy-making process to reduce the effects of jobs-housing spatial mismatch on the tenants. The study likewise adds to the understanding of the spatial mismatch hypothesis in Chinese urban space.
