Abstract:
Globally, central governments have reduced their resources for public housing provision and shifted their responsibilities to local authorities. As a result, local governments have turned to private sectors for help to house their urban vulnerable groups (households who are marginalized from the rapidly-growing real estate market), which is also the case in recent years when it comes to Chinese PRH provision. The government-dominance governance in PRH provision has changed and become more complex than before. However, few studies have paid attention to this, especially from a ‘governance’ point of view. Juan Yan’s PhD study therefore aims to build a deep understanding of the PRH governance in current urban China and to explore the possible future directions for the PRH governance.
Besides desktop research, on-site interview and survey in two Chinese cities (Chongqing and Fuzhou) are the other two main methods in the study. The main results of the PhD study are: a model showing the essence of Chinese PRH governance; one map of the power distribution among governments and non-governmental actors; determinants of tenants’ satisfaction; and policy implications for a better usage of newly-emerging housing instrument (i.e. inclusionary housing).
