Immigrants and Urban Revitalization : Impact of Immigrants on Inner-city Housing Markets in World Cities.

本研究分析了新移民对洛杉矶、东京和大坂三个城市的市中心社区及其现有旧住宅存量的影响。我的研究结果表明，新移民并不总是定居在市中心的社区或他们的旧住房存量。新移民的居住选择行为因族群和城市而异。例如，在东京，新移民往往居住在中心地区，而在大坂，他们往往居住在中心城市以外。此外，我的分析没有显示新移民和旧住房存量之间存在明显的正相关。

This study analyzes the impact of new immigrants on inner-city neighborhoods and their existing old housing stock in three cities, Los Angeles, Tokyo, and Osaka. My results show that new immigrants do not always settle into inner city neighborhoods or their old housing stock. The residential choice behavior of new immigrants changes by ethnic groups and cities. In Tokyo, for example, new immigrants tend to live in the central areas while, in Osaka, they tend to live outside the central city. Also, my analysis did not show the clear positive association between new immigrants and the old housing stock.
