“…Note that a high ratio of land supply area for security housing to the total land supply is associated with a significant propensity for permanent settlement intention, while the associations between housing security and temporary settlement intention is not significant. Unsurprisingly, housing security increases migrants’ permanent settlement intention rather than temporary settlement intention because housing security facilitate migrants’ social integration and self-identity in the host cities [ 65 , 66 ].…”

A huge gap remains in the urbanization rate between China and developed countries, although China has experienced a rapid growth in urbanization rate over the last decade. Critical to the future growth of urbanization is how to increase the settlement intentions of migrants. This study uses land supply for security housing as an exogeneous shock to the supply of security housing in the near future to explore how housing security is associated with intentions to settle down in destination cities of the migrant population. We found that increased land supply for security housing promotes the settlement intentions of migrants. Moreover, housing security is positively associated with permanent settlement intentions, while its relation to temporary settlement intentions is not significant. Lastly, the effect of housing security is larger for households with more housing expenditure. Our results have important theoretical and practical significance for the research on urban development and social welfare.

“…[38,45,46] studied place attachment in slum areas; [47][48][49] on rural areas; [44,50] on university student dormitories; and [51,52] on migrants living in foreign countries. Despite this growing literature over the past years, little attention has been paid to exploring the level of place attachment that different housing typologies (high-rise vs low-rise) evoked and how this influences overall residential satisfaction, with some exceptions, e.g., [53].…”

The current research seeks to understand the relationship between residential satisfaction and place attachment by assessing where significant differences exist in the social environment among people living in low-rise and high-rise housing estates in Budapest, Hungary. The study employed multistage sampling techniques to collect information on the social environment and the residential satisfaction of individuals living in Budapest’s low-rise and high-rise housing estates. The data consisted of 213 participants over the age of 18. Results reveal that a decrease in the number of dependents within both high-rise (p = 0.013) and low-rise (p < 0.001) estates, as well as smaller household sizes in both high-rise (p = 0.013) and low-rise (p = 0.005) estates, aligns with lower satisfaction with the social environment. Habitability indices suggest that low-rise estates generally foster a more positive perception of the social environment, stronger community connections, and higher trust among neighbours, supporting the hypothesis that residents in high-rise estates may be dissatisfied with their social surroundings. Notably, the logistic regression analysis highlights a negative association (β = −0.12) between the satisfaction index (SI) and overall satisfaction in high-rise housing, emphasizing that higher SI values are linked to lower odds of satisfaction in this context. Conversely, the low-rise model shows a statistically significant positive association (p < 0.005) between SI and overall satisfaction. Thus, the size of the residential building does matter when it comes to individuals feeling attached to their residential environment.

“…This enormous urban transformation of a post-socialist city has also influenced a loss of collective memory. While the citizens identify the socialist city with a regular and cleanly built environment, albeit for people with controlled lifestyles, the post-socialist city is seen as a chaotic, crumbling, dynamic built environment in which individuals live open and non-communitarian lifestyles (Manahasa, 2017).…”
