“…There is another related literature on Chinese cities and urbanization (Au and Henderson ; Baum‐Snow et al ; Deng et al ; Song and Zenou ). Fu, Zheng, and Liu () estimate the housing supply elasticity of Chinese cities and find that lower regulatory costs and land‐use equity might raise housing supply elasticity. Our article is the first empirical study that investigates the effects of China's land market on its rapid urban development from 2000 to 2010.…”

This article investigates how government intervention in land market affects China's urban development, using data from prefecture-level cities between 2000 and. We find that government intervention enlarges the impact of positive productivity shocks on housing price appreciation, through mainly the government control over residential land supply. However, we find no significant evidence that high government intervention constrains population growth and leads to wage increase. Such patterns of urban dynamics can be explained by the fact that migrant workers are the driving force behind China's urbanization, but they have limited housing demand and are not well compensated.

“…Glaeser established a theoretical model of the elasticity of housing supply and clearly explained the relationship between housing supply and urban economy [35]. This research was introduced to the Chinese scene, and empirical tests on the correlation between housing and city were conducted [36].…”

While urbanization acts as an engine of economic growth, rising inequality and exclusion within cities derails development progress. In the past 30 years, the population in China has converged to large-scale cities, which brought a severe housing issue, not least for migrants. In order to relieve the tension between the increasing demand for housing and the scarcity of urban resources, research on housing policy in response to urban growth is a matter of cardinal significance. This paper made an effort to explore the mechanism of public housing policies coordinated with urban growth management. Taking Chongqing City as the study area, the system dynamics model was adopted in exploring the coordination mechanism. The impact of the two policies were simulated, including the urban population control and public housing supply. The results indicated that the combined policy could more effectively cope with the possible urban housing crisis under the long-term trend, and promote urban inclusive growth. Meanwhile, the starting time of intervention also has a significant impact on the policy effect. This study shares China’s experience and provides reference for other developing countries to pursue socio-economic sustainability in the process of urbanization.
