Abstract

[This chapter shows that Beijing’s housing has been characterized since the mid 1990s by a new phenomenon: residential segregation. It begins with an overview of the housing development that has taken place in Beijing after China transferred to a market economy, and then shows the impacts of gentrification within the traditional neighbourhoods of the old city proper on their original residents, and finally, assesses the main factor causing the residential segregation. It is argued that household income has become the main cause of residential segregation in today’s Beijing.]
