Description
It becomes central to China's pursuit of quality development to re-emphasise functional instead of investment attributes of housing given problems related to housing over-speculation. Globally proactive planning tools have been used to incentivise developments towards liveable environment, although their varied and complex practices remain under-researched. Through comparative case studies incorporating cognitive mapping and institutional approach, this research aims to examine how planning incentivises can be used in housing development to improve quality of life with in-depth analysis and visualisation of findings. It unveils the mechanisms that conceptualise liveable developments, select tools and change motivations and interactions among stakeholders, which has the potential to reshape public-private relations under China's `new-type urbanisation'.This studentship involves three principal areas of investigation:
1. Determine the liveability implications on housing development in the urbanistaion and inventory era.
2. Examine the adaptation of planning incentivization in light of international comparison and model the complex processes and interactions to facilitate collaborative decision-making and flexible development management.
3. Conceptualise the mechanisms of changing roles, relations and interactions among public and private sectors in China.
