Abstract

This study examines the job-housing balance in Guangzhou, focusing on its implications for new residents. Initially, it calculates the self-sufficiency of employment and residential populations across 11 administrative districts and 170 streets/towns in Guangzhou, along with peak commuting times for weekdays, to evaluate the job-housing relationship of new residents. Subsequently, the study assesses the housing vacancy rate in Guangzhou and analyzes the current state of vacant properties. Finally, by integrating the job-housing dynamics of new residents with the housing vacancy situation, the study proposes strategies aimed at addressing the challenges of vacant housing and job-housing imbalance through the rational allocation of unoccupied properties.

Keyphrases: housing supply, job housing balance, new citizens, vacant housing
