Study on the Spatial Pattern of Supergentrification in the Core Area of Shanghai
Publication: Journal of Urban Planning and Development
Volume 150, Issue 3
Abstract
This paper studied the spatial pattern of supergentrification in the core area of Shanghai. The area is divided into 23 subdistricts based on the standard pattern of subdistrict division provided by CREIS (China Real Estate Index System) and then the 23 subdistricts are taken as objects for analysis. By establishing the evaluation index system of supergentrification level, the integrated analysis method entropy weight method and exploratory spatial data analysis is used to explore the general characteristics of the spatial pattern, spatial agglomeration characteristics, and spatial agglomeration hotspots of supergentrification in the core area of Shanghai. The research results of the spatial pattern reveal that the level of supergentrification in the core area of Shanghai is high in Puxi and low in Pudong. The Puxi district, represented by the People’s Square subdistrict, West Nanjing Road subdistrict, and Hengshan Road subdistrict, has a higher level of supergentrification, while the Pudong district, represented by the Tangqiao subdistrict, Yangjing subdistrict, and Huamu subdistrict, has a lower level of supergentrification. The results of spatial autocorrelation analysis reveal that supergentrification in the core area of Shanghai presents obvious spatial agglomeration characteristics on the subdistrict scale and that the significantly high-high subdistricts are mainly distributed in the core area of Puxi.
