Planning Strategy To Promote Job-living Balance In Developing District

In recent years, with the continuous urbanization process in China, many new districts have been set up in many cities. By absorbing population and industry from the central city, new districts take positive effect in promoting regional development. However, due to unsynchronized development of employment and residence in new districts construction, a large number of "sleeping city", "ghost town" has emerged. In the perspective of urban development, "Sleeping City", "ghost town" has caused a waste of land and other resources. Large commuting traffic between downtown area and new districts has caused a pressure on regional traffic system. Resource consumption and environmental pollution caused by motorized traffic is worsening. Difficult in self-sufficiency of new districts is not conducive to sustainable industrial development of region. From the perspective of residents in new districts, high commuting costs caused by job-living imbalance seriously affect the quality of life. Taking "sleeping city", "ghost town" phenomenon as a starting point, paper explores development strategy of new districts from the perspective of job-living balance. The paper focus on the job-living balance in developing areas, providing a new perspective for job-living balance research field. The paper considers job-living balance as dynamic development process instead of ideal state. The paper aims at proposing plan and strategy to promote job-living balance in every stage of urban development.Focusing on the developing areas, the author firstly summarized research results in job-living balance and developing area planning and construction field through reading and collecting extensive literature. The paper emphasize on the impact on job-living balance from features in the development and construction of new areas. The author conducted a thorough investigation of Sino-Singapore Tianjin Eco-city. The paper proposed specific measure range and methods of job-living balance in the meso-scale developing cities based on the investigation results. Through analyzing industry structure, commuting transport and personal personal characteristics, three factors are further proved to be the determinant factors of job-living balance: first one is that industries in the community are weak in creating jobs, the second one is that the current public transit network can no meet the commute demands, the third one is that current housing security system cannot meet need of low-income groups and immigrants.Combined with new eco-city development goals, characteristics and constraints of Sino-Singapore Tianjin Eco-city, the author proposes planning strategies promoting job-housing balance through the following four aspects: Control indicator system optimization, industrial development, external public transportation planning and differentiation and housing security system.
