“…Second the funding for affordable housing and services should be broadened. In many countries such as China, limited local government budgets are a major challenge to the further development of affordable housing and associated services (Cai et al, 2017). Urban renewal and gentrification supply local governments with substantial land lease fees and enhanced business activity (He, 2007;Wu, 2015).…”

“…Thus, local governments reserve urban land in good locations for commercial buildings and up-market housing, affordable/social housing tends to be pushed out from inner city (Fenton et al, 2013). Fair allocation of land between commercial and social housing is a crucial issue in planning accessible affordable housing (Cai et al, 2017). Therefore, local governments should diversify the funding sources for building affordable housing.…”

“…The government revenue from land sales promoted the increase in the CLOC rate in local provinces, but the impact on the neighboring provinces was not significant. The reason for this difference may be associated with the differential real estate control policies introduced by the central government [61]. For example, in Hainan Province, the central government has implemented restrictive policies on home purchases to reduce the local government's reliance on the real estate industry [62].…”

Rapid urbanization has brought huge development dividends to China. At the same time, its negative effects have aroused people's attention. For example, a large amount of cultivated land has been occupied for urban expansion and construction. Using exploratory spatial data analysis (ESDA) and the spatial Durbin model (SDM), we analyzed the spatial distribution of cultivated land occupation for construction (CLOC) and its driving factors in 31 provinces in China from 2005 to 2016. The results indicated that (1) the CLOC rate presented a significant spatial clustering feature, and its distribution showed a new trend of "homogenization" after the year 2012; (2) as the core driving factor, the population urbanization rate significantly promoted the growth of the CLOC rate in the local province, while showing a negative effect on that rate in the neighboring provinces;(3) in addition, behind the new trend of the CLOC rate, there was a transformation from being "investment driven" to being "population and industry driven". Therefore, this paper suggests that the government should link each city's construction land supply to the constantly changing trend of population migrations in China. Further, promoting the tertiary industry can be a win-win strategy for easing the tension between cultivated land and construction land.Sustainability 2019, 11, 5089 2 of 23 construction, to ensure economic stability and improve domestic livelihood issues (narrowing the urban-rural gap and increasing employment in poor areas). Therefore, issues related to the game relationship between cultivated land and construction land are becoming the focus of scholarly attention, including the driving forces of urban expansion [4,7], the chain effect of cultivated land loss [8,9], and the transformation from cultivated land into construction land [10,11].Sustainability 2019, 11, x FOR PEER REVIEW 2 of 23 urban-rural gap and increasing employment in poor areas).

“…This type of comparison, considering general and distinctive characteristics between a small number of cases, has already been utilised to support policy recommendations on the role of supply chain collaboration in affordable housing development [64] and to examine sustainable supply chain management in the textile sector [65]. Using a case-oriented process, the FSC and Modern Slavery approaches outlined in Sections 2.2 and 2.3, were analysed to look for patterns of similarities and differences.…”

Can the SDGs Provide a Basis for Supply Chain Decisions in the Construction Sector?

Abstract:The Construction sector is characterised by complex supply networks delivering unique end products over short time scales. Sustainability has increased in importance but continues to be difficult to implement in this sector; thus, new approaches and practices are needed. This paper reports an empirical investigation into the value of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), especially Sustainable Consumption and Production (SDG12), when used as a framework for action by organisations to drive change towards sustainability in global supply networks. Through inductive research, two different and contrasting approaches to improving the sustainability of supply networks have been revealed. One approach focuses on the "bottom up" ethical approach typified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certification of timber products, and the other on "top-down" regulations exemplified by the UK Modern Slavery Act. In an industry noted for complex supply networks and characterised by adversarial relationships, the findings suggest that, in the long term, promoting shared values aligned with transparent, third-party monitoring will be more effective than imposing standards through legislation and regulation in supporting sustainable consumption and production.
