Urban Structure, Housing Prices and the Double Role of Amenity: A Study of Nanjing, China
Published in Applied Spatial Analysis and Policy, 2024
Core contribution: This article conceptualizes amenities as having a double role in housing markets: they are independent neighborhood goods that shape price premiums, and they also reveal the underlying urban structure through centers, subcenters, and corridors.
Highlights
- Moves amenity research beyond a single price-effect interpretation.
- Shows that amenities can function as both price determinants and urban-structure indicators.
- Connects housing value surfaces with centers, subcenters, and location-specific amenity effects.
- Supports planning interpretation of housing prices through spatial structure rather than isolated neighborhood attributes.
核心贡献: 本文提出设施在住房市场中具有双重角色:一方面,设施作为邻里公共品会被资本化为住房价格溢价;另一方面,设施也揭示了由中心、副中心和发展廊道构成的城市空间结构。
核心亮点
- 将设施研究从单一价格效应解释推进到双重角色分析。
- 指出设施既是价格决定因素,也是城市结构的空间信号。
- 把住房价值表面与中心、副中心和区位差异化设施效应联系起来。
- 支持从空间结构而非孤立邻里属性理解住房价格。
