摘要中国的开发区被规划为自给自足的社区，以实现当地就业和住房的平衡分布。然而，这些计划往往遭到市场的抵制，导致就业-住房失衡，这是一个不受欢迎的后果。在本文中，我们研究了苏州工业园区（SIP）的情况下，探索实际上发生了什么，在中国的开发区。我们的研究揭示了事实上的质量工作，住房不平衡SIP尽管在法律上的数量平衡，在当地的土地使用计划的设想。这一发现解释了为什么SIP中的大多数工人必须寻找远离工作场所的家。质量上的不平衡是由一系列相互关联的因素造成的，包括（a）工业用地供过于求，维斯用于公共设施和住宅设施的土地供应不足;（B）当地工人负担不起房价;（c）通勤者越来越多地使用汽车。除了政策含义之外，本文还反思了规划与市场之间的基本关系，作为研究中国城市流动性、住房和社会问题的更广泛的知识视角。
ABSTRACT Development zones in China are planned as self-contained communities in order to achieve a locally balanced distribution of jobs and homes. Yet the plans are often defied by the market, leading to jobs-housing imbalance as an undesired consequence. In this paper, we examine the case of Suzhou Industry Park (SIP) to explore what has actually happened within a Chinese development zone. Our study reveals the de facto qualitative jobs-housing imbalance within SIP notwithstanding the de jure quantitative balance as envisaged in the local land-use plan. This finding explains why most workers within SIP have to search for homes far away from their workplaces. The qualitative imbalance is attributable to a series of interrelated factors, including (a) the oversupply of industrial land vis-à-vis the undersupply of land for public facilities and residential amenities, (b) the unaffordable house price for local workers, and (c) the increased use of automobiles by commuters. On top of its policy implications, this paper also reflects on the fundamental relationship between planning and market as a broader intellectual perspective to study urban China’s mobility, housing and social issues.
