2. Research Issue + Methodologies

Patterns of both structured and unstructured suburbanization are constraining the emergence of potential agglomeration benefits across China’s metropolitan regions.

• Not a systematic program of research (yet).• Analytic work on consulting projects in 9 MRs in China

for World Bank: investment projects and AAA• GIS-based spatial analysis of demographic and

economic trends• Satellite image-based, change analysis of builtup land• Fiscal and institutional assessments * Caveat: big danger in making generalizations in China

given huge regional differences

14

2. Research Issue + Methodologies

Maximizing potential agglomerationbenefits requires:

1. (almost) sufficient serviced land and building stock to affordably meet locational, quantitative, and qualitative demands of all households (including the poor and near-poor)

2. transport systems to affordably, safely, and predictably meet household and worker demands for accessibility to services and places of work

3. infrastructure services to affordably, safely, and predictably meet quantitative and qualitative demands of households and firms for power, communication, water, sanitation where needed

4. affordable options to facilitate the proximate location of firms, service providers, and innovation partners

5. least-effort (time and cost), safe, and predictable accessibility to firms’ supply and output markets, and to innovation partners

6. minimum of agglomeration diseconomies

3. Findings - Key Drivers of Suburbanization

Key Drivers of Suburbanization:1. Economic restructuring:

• Shift of manufacturing to suburbs• Strong growth in consumer and producer services in

high-density core area• Global trade hub function for central China and

Yangze Basin2. In-migration: 5 million migrants in Shanghai 3. Land Values:

• Price incentives for enterprises• Forced industrial and residential relocations• Housing inflation in core areas• Subsidization of suburban industrial land

4. Physical Accessibility Improvements (for firms, not households)5. Competition for investment among governments: municipal and

district; between districts

4. Policy Consequences – emerging outcomes

Emerging Outcomes:1. Over-consumption of agricultural land2. Shortage of serviced land to required standards in

demand locations3. Growing core-area -- and inner suburban – traffic

congestion, increasing transactions costs 4. Misalignment between metropolitan transport and

residential land use patterns increasing travel costs to households

5. Inaccessibility of suburban residents to metropolitan labour markets

6. Dissipation of pollution sources across the metropolitan region

31

4. Policy Consequences: Institutional Causes

Causes are Institutional:1. Mis-alignment of functional responsibilities, revenue

assignments, and expenditure responsibilities among municipal, district, and town governments

2. Perverse fiscal incentives: declining fiscal capacities of sub-municipal governments forces one-time sales of land use lease rights; no land-based recurring revenues

3. Subsidization and land conversion controls distort real estate markets

4. System of Property Rights mitigates economies of scale and constricts land supply

5. Planning processes cannot keep up with pace of change6. No explicit, codified mandates for metropolitan

management, including suburban areas

32

4. Causes – master plan and actual development

33

5. Analytic and Policy Priorities

Central challenge: how to get governments to better manage land, transport, infrastructure, and environmental protection across metropolitan regions, including through inter-jurisdictional cooperation?• Top-down, command and control not sustainable• Incentives needed:

• Career: performance appraisals…not sustainable

• Equity: ‘do good’…not likely• Effectiveness: ‘do more, better…save farms, save

the environment’…dubious• Efficiencies: ‘do it at less cost’…maybe

• …ECONOMIC RETURNS to governments: job creation, inward investment, fiscal returns from taxes on economic activity

34

5. Analytic and Policy Priorities…

DEMONSTRATING ECONOMIC RETURNS OF METROPOLITAN AGGLOMERATION:• How can we quantify improvements to agglomeration

benefits from better management of land, transport, infrastructure, and environmental protection across jurisdictions, including in suburban areas (ie. spatially disaggregated analysis)?

• How can we quantify returns to governments, including fiscal returns, of maximizing metropolitan agglomeration benefits across jurisdictions, including in suburban areas? (from abstract to concrete)?

• How can we communicate the above in terms that local stakeholders – especially governments – can easily and fully understand?

• Institutional modalities will follow; should not be the core focus.
