“…The case studies of Guangzhou and Dongguan were selected as part of a larger research programme on the Pearl River Delta -Guangzhou as a provincial capital and Dongguan as a typical manufacturing city, satellite industrial platform and one of the fastest growing cities in the Delta (in-depth baseline studies: Rolf 2019; ; in terms of urban transformation and land use changes: Wu et al 2024). The research sites of the high-tech industrial zones Guangzhou Development Park and Songshan Lake Park in Dongguan were selected based on cluster sampling (Pahl 2016, p. 81), to identify urban areas targeting high-skilled return migrants.…”

Constellations of Scarcity on the Viennese Housing Market. Relevant Factors and Negotiation Processes from the Perspective of Housing Seekers Using Vienna as an example, the article develops a differentiated view of scarcity in the housing market that goes beyond a general consideration of the relationship between supply and demand or its focus on issues of affordability or formal accessibility. In addition to looking at housing supply and access regulations, it focuses on the demand side through a qualitative analysis of the experiences of people looking for housing, presented in explorative case studies, asking for whom and due to what factors housing is scarce. The results suggest that the socio-cultural resources of housing seekers, such as origin and language, knowledge of the housing market, housing search practices and strategies, and time invested in housing search, are additional factors influencing scarcity that have only been marginally considered. At the same time, the paper shows that the way in which housing needs are manifested as demand in a housing market through the actions of housing seekers is the result of complex negotiations and trade-offs that take place against the background of subjective assessments of scarcity in parts of the housing market and experiences of one's own opportunities in this context.

China´s city governments compete to achieve or maintain importance in today's globalised economy. Corresponding governmental strategies seek to attract and retain highskilled Chinese return migrants, a group that is expected to stimulate and carry forward economic upgrading. The cities' competition for those high-skilled return migrants is closely related to the development of high-tech development zones. In addition to industrial activities in the development zones, local governments create urban amenities by constructing specially designed living spaces as well as facilities in the development zones. Considering the tense housing situation in China, efforts to provide appealing and affordable housing solutions are considered a promising strategy for attracting high-skilled return migrants.Against this background, the article analyses, using the example of the two cities of Guangzhou and Dongguan (Pearl River Delta, China), two research questions: (1) What strategies do the municipal governments use to attract high-skilled return migrants -with what spatial consequences? ( 2) What are the most important factors and reasons for highskilled return migrants when choosing their place of residence for resettlement? The empirical study uses a mixed methods analysis of government and media reports, secondary data as well as qualitative interviews with experts and high-skilled return migrants.Results show that despite the fact that both cities apply similar strategies to attract highskilled return migrants, Guangzhou as a first-tier city remains more attractive to settle down permanently. The case of Dongguan's Songshan Lake Science and Technology Industry Park provides relevant insights into a prevalent municipal strategy for attracting high-skilled return migrants by providing indemnificatory housing solutions. The strategy of providing dedicated housing estates can lead to a tendency towards spatial segregation. Further, the authors raise awareness to the importance of underlying demands and preferences in resettlement behaviour when trying to attract high-skilled return migrants permanently.

An understanding of how land use efficiency and industrial clusters interact helps one to make informed decisions that balance economic benefits with sustainable urban development. The emergence of industrial clusters is a result of market behavior, while the determination of administrative boundaries is a result of government behavior. When these two are not consistent, it can lead to distortions in the allocation of land resources. However, current research on industrial development and land use efficiency is based on agglomeration within administrative regions rather than on industrial clusters. This study addresses this gap by identifying industrial clusters based on the spatial distribution of enterprises and analyzing their impact on land use efficiency. This study uses the density-based spatial clustering of applications with noise (DBSCAN) algorithm to identify industrial clusters, the convex hull algorithm to study their morphology, and spatial econometrics to measure the relationship between land use efficiency and the scale of industrial clusters. The results indicate the following: (1) the density of manufacturing industry (MI) clusters is significantly higher than that of information technology industry (ITI) clusters, and larger industrial clusters tend to be more circular in shape; (2) there is a positive correlation between the scale of industrial clusters and land use efficiency, and industrial clusters with varying levels of land use efficiency are interspersed throughout; (3) significant differences exist between the boundaries of industrial clusters and administrative regions, which could lead to biases when analyzing land use efficiency based on administrative regions. This study provides theoretical support for government policies on improving land use efficiency in China.
