“…Furthermore, there is a noteworthy trend that place attachment varies at different geographical scales in Chinese cities. Most previous studies have concentrated on neighbourhood‐scale attachment, revealing stronger place attachment of residents in commodity housing neighbourhoods than those of traditional neighbourhoods, (Zhu et al, 2012), public housing neighbourhoods (Chang et al, 2020) and work‐unit compounds (Li, Mao, et al, 2019). Compared to neighbourhood attachment, few studies have investigated residents' city attachment.…”

With suburbanisation and gentrification becoming global phenomena, residential mobility has been incentivised and is extensively taken as a critical lens through which to understand the formation and variation of place attachment in different urban settings. Extant literature has suggested that the strength of place attachment is curvilinear across different geographical scales. However, limited research has investigated how processes and changes of residential mobility, embedded in different socioeconomic and structural settings, shape people's place attachment at the neighbourhood and city scales. To address this shortfall in the literature, this study employs a process‐based perspective by reconciling past housing experiences with that of the present to investigate how residential mobility affects place attachment based on a large‐scale survey in Shanghai in 2021. The findings show that the processual residential mobility relays profound influences on place attachment at different geographical scales. Specifically, homeownership secures residents' a privileged multi‐scale attachment. Meanwhile, access to state welfare housing in the past and at present, as well as residential moves driven by individual needs are more likely to engender a single‐scale attachment. Experiences with housing relocation and market rental exert negative influences on place attachment at both the city and neighbourhood scales. Both housing policy‐related structural factors and socioeconomic status have led to marginalised residential mobility, consequently entailing a sense of ‘placelessness’ in urban China.

“…In higher-density communities, inadequate size and uncontrolled noise could hurt residents' life satisfaction [35]. Thus, the unit size is a primary determinant of the residential demand of households [41,42]. The size of the living room or dining room also directly affects residential comfort [3,24,42,43].…”

“…The open space is a common area of urban communities helping residents' social contacts [57], which might support dwellers' informal meetings, social interaction, necessary activity, and outdoor play [25,35]. The local facilities or services could be measured through four items: health centers, entertainment, commercial institutions, and public transportation [31,42].…”

Effective residence planning is crucial to encourage sustainable housing development. Residents in densely populated cities inevitably have negative residential experiences caused by compact land use. Still, this situation is improvable through optimizing the physical environment or increasing service facilities that cater to dwellers’ residential preferences. Therefore, understanding the factors impacting residential satisfaction in high-population metropolitan areas is essential mainly. This study surveyed the citizens’ residential environment and satisfaction in dense urban residential areas. Results of this survey indicate that 13 environmental factors significantly impact residential evaluation. Among them, improving ventilation, privacy, and property maintenance can effectively address the adverse effects of densely populated communities. Additionally, neighborhoods or amenities could further impact younger respondents’ residential evaluation. Elderly citizens place high importance on the quality of their indoor living environment. Green space could promote the residential satisfaction of young and more senior citizens. Environmental factors can significantly affect the residential satisfaction of citizens across all age groups with their homes. As a result, real estate planners should provide a range of dwelling unit designs to support housing development. Real estate planners can better understand the needs of potential clients by considering the housing preferences of individuals across different age groups and the surrounding neighborhood. The indoor or outdoor environment might be adjusted to meet households’ demands, while non-essential factors could be omitted to cut expenses. This study might aid in the sound development of dwellings.

“…Studies that include sense of security consistently show a positive effect on neighbourhood attachment (Brown et al, 2003;. While residents of commercial neighbourhoods tend to have a low amount of neighbourly interactions (Hazelzet and Wissink, 2012;, they tend to have a high sense of security (Yip, 2012) and also in the Chinese context it is found that this sense of security positively affects neighbourhood attachment (Chang et al, 2020).…”
