Abstract | The global spread of gated communities (GCs) has gained momentum in China, where it has become the most prevalent residential form. Residential sorting based on education choice has long been a classic topic in housing economics and the social sciences. An emerging form of GCs, termed education-led GCs (edu-led GCs) by the author, that turn education into a semi-club good packaged with other tailor-made residential services, is now attracting numerous middle-class homebuyers across China. Emerging as a hybrid form of lifestyle and prestige GCs, and encapsulating the important urban/social issues of unequal access to education, privatization of basic public goods, middle class social reproduction, social exclusion and residential segregation, edu-led GCs poses a series of unexplored questions for the literature on GCs. This research focuses on the case of Guangzhou, where the very first edu-led GC was developed in 1992, to provide answers to the following questions: 1) How are edu-led GCs being produced under the unique institutional and socioeconomic settings in China? 2) What are the internal and external impacts of edu-led GCs, in terms of the influences on community attachment internally and social exclusion externally? Empirical data will be drawn from a large-scale household survey conducted in 39 GCs in Guangzhou, of which 27 are edu-led GCs. Findings from this research are expected to enrich the theoretical and empirical explorations of GCs and contemporary Chinese urbanism. |
