Bo Qin and Sun Sheng Han（2013）：Emerging Polycentricity in Beijing: Evidence from Housing Price Variations, 2001-05，Urban Studies，50(10): 2006-2023

This paper examines the emerging multiple centre urban spatial structure in Beijing using housing price variation as an indicator. A random sample of 3783 apartment units was used. These apartments were recent sales in 2001, 2003 and 2005. The dataset included transaction prices and main housing attributes gathered from the Beijing Construction Committee. A hedonic price model was calibrated to investigate the importance of the different urban centres to housing price variations. The results show that multiple urban centres (such as Tian抋nmen, CBD, Zhongguancun and the Olympic Centre) explain more of the variations in housing price differences in the metropolitan space than any centre does alone. The findings also reveal changes in impacts from the individual centres in the study period. These outcomes confirm that Beijing is moving towards a polycentric urban form. The emerging multiple urban centres are key factors in understanding the spatial restructuring of Beijing, especially in modelling its emerging housing market.

北京空间多中心的显现：以住宅价格变化为例，2001-05

摘要：基于对住宅价格空间格局的研究，本文分析了北京正在逐渐形成的多中心空间结构。从北京市建委所管理的普通公寓住宅交易2001年、2003年和2005年的数据库中，作者以随机抽样的方式获取了共计3783个样本，并以GIS落到空间上；之后综合考虑住宅的区位、邻里以及结构因素，以特征价格模型分析北京不同城市中心对房价的影响。结果显示多中心模型比单中心模型有更好的解释力度，同时也发现不同的中心对房价影响力随着时间而变化。研究确认了北京向多中心空间结构转型的趋势，这些逐渐发展的城市中心对于理解北京的空间重构非常重要，特别是在分析住宅市场时。（Urban Studies，2013，SSCI）
