概要：
We use the street neighbourhood (Juweihui) data from the 2007 Chinese Urban Household Survey to examine the extent that urban income and education inequalities are manifested in the spatial structure of Chinese cities. We find spatial inequality measures with respect to education, household income and home value to rise with urban size and density, which elevate urban land rent gradients, and with the mean education attainment, which strengthens the preferences for location qualities. New construction of market‐based commodity housing helps to diversify the neighbourhood‐level education mix inherited from previous work‐unit based urban housing provision, but the education and income gaps between the new arrivals to a city and the old residents contribute to increased education and income spatial‐inequality measures. Furthermore, we find the spatial inequalities in education and income by themselves to have little impact on the spatial inequality in land rents.
