HOUSING CLASS AND ITS SOCIAL SPATIAL DIFFERENTIATION IN BIG CITIES:A CASE STUDY OF NANJING
Under the background of the rapid rise in urban housing prices and the differentiation of the hous-ing market in China,housing conditions can not only reflect family wealth,but also be closely related to the social status of housing owners,the education of future generations and class identity.This paper takes the quantity and level of housing as clustering indices,dividingthe samples into four categories:Landlord class,improvement class,necessity class and houseless class.The social attributes and spatial characteristics of dif-ferent housing classesare analyzed and compared from the aspects of housing conditions,family structure,education level,occupational incomeand spatial distribution,etc.It is proposed that the joint effects of work unit institution,housing market mechanism,residential culture and spatial function promote the formation and differentiation of housing class in China's big cities.By integrating geographical thinking and spatial el-ements into traditional housing class theory and carrying out empirical exploration,it is preliminarily veri-fied that the housing class differentiation in big cities objectively exists and continues to intensify
