Normativity Versus Strategy in Public Reporting
Public reporting is the cornerstone of government performance disclosure. Yet reporting is inherently shaped by two competing pressures: a normative demand for transparency and accountability, and a strategic incentive to manage perception and avoid blame. This study examines how Chinese local governments navigate this tension when failing to meet announced GDP growth targets. Using 1,614 municipal reports from 269 cities (2013–2018), we identify…
A Comparative Review of the Affordable Housing Policies in China and the United States
The international comparison of affordable housing policies has attracted increasing attention, because it can assist countries in making housing strategies tailored to their specific contexts. Both China and the United States have made a wide range of affordable housing policies, making it essential to compare the related policies in these two countries. Although numerous studies have explored various specific aspects of their affordable housing…
From Digital Tools to Governance Infrastructure
This study examines how digital platforms reshape the co-creation of carbon neutrality in mega-event governance. Building on co-production and platform governance theories, it conceptualizes platforms as governance infrastructure that reconfigures stakeholder relations and enables multi-actor climate action. Based on the 2023 Hangzhou Asian Games, it identifies two mechanisms: direct emissions reduction through digital substitution of high-carbon…
Urban entrepreneurialism under network narrative
This research extends the discourse on urban entrepreneurialism by introducing a network narrative to examine the logics underlying inter-city entrepreneurial activities. We propose a framework to analyse the effects of political and market logics in government-led inter-city investments, at three levels: nodal, dyadic, and network structural, and their cross-level interactions. Using local government-guided industrial funds (GGIFs) in China as a…

Digital fix under state entrepreneurialism
This article proposes the concept of the “digital fix” to articulate urban transformation toward smart cities as a new form of fix beyond the spatial fix. We develop a framework to reveal the motivations, mechanisms, and outcomes of the digital fix, and then use a case study of Hangzhou to illustrate how it is performed under state entrepreneurialism. The findings are as follows. First, the digital fix is driven by a combination of capitalist and…
How do China’s elite universities contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)? Cases of Tsinghua University andZhejiang University
Purpose Elite universities play a pivotal role in advancing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by leveraging their intellectual, technological and global resources. This study aims to examine how such institutions, particularly in China, contribute to the SDGs through their green university initiatives. Design/methodology/approach Based on an innovative five-dimensional framework, this study compares the practices of Tsinghua…
Four decades of population expansion and shrinkage across Chinese cities
Based on the latest three Chinese censuses and the population prediction model, we use four cartograms to reveal the population expansion and shrinkage across the prefecture-level cities in mainland China from 2000 to 2040. The cartograms demonstrate a difference in the spatial distribution of cities that expand and shrink in four decades. Especially, the cartograms reveal that the proportions of cities with shrinking populations in these four de…

Urban resilience, digital technologies, and the economic recovery of a city from the pandemic
The COVID‐19 pandemic has devastated the world economy, which has made global economic recovery a considerable challenge. When a city experiences disasters, it needs to utilize innovative governance instruments, such as digital technologies, to foster economic recovery resilience. This article proposes a theoretical framework aimed at revealing the interconnection between digital technologies and economic recovery resilience, and it presents the …
Neighbourhood governance during the Covid-19 lockdown in Hangzhou
With the digital technologies boom, theories and practices regarding coproduction have evolved. We developed an analytical framework to reveal the theoretical relationship between digital technologies and coproduction; we then employed the case of neighbourhood governance during the COVID-19 lockdown in Hangzhou to illustrate this framework. The case study shows that the stakeholders had utilized digital technologies as an instrument in many ways…
Restructuring Beijing
Beijing has been undergoing significant spatial restructuring, aiming to transform itself from a sprawled megacity into China’s capital city-region. This paper develops a theoretical framework to reveal the inter-connection among spatial restructuring, spatial fix, and crisis management, then the case of Beijing is employed to illustrate this framework. Based on the analyses of the motivations, practical measures, and challenges associated with B…

Urban planning as a way to pursue quality-oriented urbanization
In the mid-2010s, China initiated a quality-oriented urbanization model aimed at overcoming the urban crises resulting from the past quantity-oriented urbanization. The Xiong'an New Area (XNA), China's latest national-level new area, has been planned such that it serves as a showcase of the quality-oriented urbanization model. Based on a review of the official urban planning documents, this paper examines the characteristics of the XNA's urban pl…
Capital switching, spatial fix, and the paradigm shifts of China’s urbanization
Since the early 2010s, China has experienced an urbanization paradigm shift from quantity-oriented to quality-oriented urbanization. Under different urbanization paradigms, local governments have employed numerous types of urban spaces in order to accumulate capital. If an extant urban space yields negative consequences that might hinder further accumulation of capital, spatial fix and capital switching will occur in accordance with the new urban…
Creating a makerspace in a characteristic town
Searching for a new dynamic of industrialization and urbanization
The characteristic town program is one of China’s latest industrialization and urbanization strategies. Originating in Zhejiang, characteristic towns are expected to serve as platforms for industrial upgrading and the promotion urbanization. This paper attempts to analyze the characteristic town program by examining the reasons behind the origination of characteristic towns, as well as elucidating the towns’ components. The paper argues that this…

Un-gating the gated community
Making a new area in Xiong’an
Modeling the polycentric evolution of post-Olympic Beijing
In the past decade, Beijing has experienced dramatic spatial restructuring. In this paper, we test whether the conventional monocentric model of urban spatial structure can explain recent developments in Beijing's land market. Using official land transaction data from 2008 through 2012, we find that (1) for commercial, mixed-use, and residential land parcels, both land prices and development intensities do not decline with distance from the urban…
