Abstract

Housing represents an important dimension in the reproduction of social inequality in China. Individual housing behavior is shaped by urban social space and simultaneously reconstructs urban space. In this paper, making use of knowledge graph visualization technique, we demonstrate the research trends and latest developments in the field of housing behavior. A growing body of literature has emerged concerning homeownership and residential mobility. Furthermore, based on a review of the recent Western literature, we delineate the concept of housing behavior from its three essential components: residential mobility, homeownership attainment and housing career. And we review the studies on each on them in the Western contexts. The relationship between housing behavior and urban space is also discussed and elaborated to further understand the mechanism underlying residential differentiation. After summarizing the differences between Chinese and Western contexts and reviewing the existing literature on housing behavior in China, we highlight several future research directions based on the discussion of current housing problems and newly launched housing policies.

Key words
