Industry 4.0 technologies have emerged as a focal point of regional technological competition in the Fourth Industrial Revolution. However, research on the emergence and determinants of innovation in Industry 4.0 technologies remains limited, especially in developing countries. Using Chinese patent data from 2001 to 2020, this study identifies the emergence of Industry 4.0 technologies across Chinese cities and explores the driving roles of relatedness/cross-relatedness and industrial policy in this process. Our findings indicate that relatedness/cross-relatedness between new technologies and Industry 4.0, Industry 3.0, and other technologies significantly increase the probability of a city developing a new specialization in Industry 4.0 technologies. The positive impact of relatedness within Industry 4.0 technologies indicates a self-reinforcing characteristic in their development. Furthermore, cross-relatedness between Industry 4.0 and Industry 3.0 technologies only promotes the specialization in Industry 4.0 technologies related to Industry 3.0 and benefits cities with a substantial Industry 3.0 foundation. Industrial policy also plays a crucial role, directly fostering specialization in Industry 4.0 technologies and indirectly enhancing the effects of relatedness/cross-relatedness. This study offers valuable policy insights for developing regional strategies to foster innovation in Industry 4.0 technologies.

... As local government officials are evaluated mainly on economic performance [21], the promotion tournament results in a race to the bottom in the use of land resources to promote local economic growth [9]. Offering industrial land at a low or zero price leads to the inefficient allocation of land resources and environmental deterioration through the oversupply of land to low-productivity and even pollution-intensive industries [22][23][24][25][26]. ...

... The coefficient for Air Pollution is − 0.18, indicating that a 10% increase in air pollution level is associated with an approximate 1.8% decrease in rent. Higher levels of air pollution are often associated with adverse health effects and a lower quality of life, making properties in polluted areas less desirable (Xiao et al., 2024). From a policy perspective, this underscores the importance of reducing air pollution through stricter regulations, investment in clean technologies, and urban planning that minimizes exposure to pollution sources. ...

... While maintaining collective ownership, the 2013 Rural Land Right Separation Reform separates the originally indivisible contractual rights of farmers into contract rights and transferable operational rights to attract capital to rural areas (Wang & Zhang, 2017). Rural entrepreneurship has been further encouraged by land certification reforms and resultant place-making activities (Huang et al., 2020;Lin et al., 2024). However, MNR has also strengthened planning controls over rural areas, meaning that in practice, regulatory flexibility often equates to regulatory violations. ...

This includes designing homes that are accessible to people with disabilities, incorporating community spaces that foster social interaction, and ensuring that housing developments do not displace existing communities [74].

... This article aims to examine the differential fertility intentions of young public housing residents as a result of the spatial mismatch of public rental housing. There are longstanding international housing policy concerns about the well-being and satisfaction of public housing residents and other low-income households, in terms of residential satisfaction (Emami & Sadeghlou, 2021;Galster & Hesser, 1981), housing affordability (Galster & Lee, 2021), housing quality (Shah et al., 2018), accessibility of public services and infrastructure (Apparicio & S� eguin, 2006;Olivier et al., 2023), perceptions of housing stability (Du et al., 2024), and sociospatial segregation (Kleit, 2001;McCormick et al., 2012). One important aspect of their quality of life has not been explored, however: whether the location of public housing requires such lengthy commutes that it retards their fertility intentions. ...

... Lastly, the research also contributes to the literature that investigates the spillover effect in the land market. Prior studies show that local governments in China are engaged in "race-to-bottom" competition in industrial land conveyance with neighboring municipalities to attract investments [9] or take advantage of the housing purchase restriction policy imposed in the neighboring municipalities to gain more land revenue [12]. This study shows that local governments could coordinate in industrial land conveyance, leading to an improvement in industrial land allocation efficiency in both regions with industrial land protection policy and neighboring regions. ...

... Although GB development has grown over time, it still accounts for a small portion of the total building stock in both developing and developed countries (UNEP, 2021). Notably, little evidence is available for developing countries, particularly sub-Saharan African countries, amidst affordable housing challenges (Agyekum et al., 2019;Akinwande & Hui, 2023). In Ghana, GB is still viewed as a novel concept and development. ...

... However, due to the incomplete land market and ambiguity concerning property rights in China (Zhu, 2005), both the central and local governments have the power to intervene in the urban land markets and influence the land-leasing prices through its urban land supply system, monopolization of land supply in the primary land market, and choice of land transaction methods (Tao et al., 2010). Also, the impacts of the transaction methods on land price are highly sensitive to the local context, while there is a significant difference between Beijing and Shanghai concerning Guapai (two-stage auctions) (Hui et al., 2023). The central and local governments usually have mixed effects on the price-determining mechanism because of different land-use types (Zhang, 2000). ...

... The main housing options for urban residents are affordability, accessibility, adequacy, and suitability factors [ [4]]. Migrants placed more emphasis on structural and locational attributes, whereas natives placed more emphasis on urban and natural amenities, especially schools and hospitals [5] One of the efforts to improve housing for low-income people is to develop simple and decent housing for sale at prices that low-income people can afford. This market strategy is certainly very profitable for developers or investors [6]. ...
