3. Policy implementation background
As the sub-center of Beijing’s urban areas, Tongzhou District has faced prominent job-housing imbalances in recent years. Data shows that the current employment population in Tongzhou District is about 890,000, of which cross-regional commuting accounts for as high as 42%, and the average commuting time is 58 minutes. Before the policy was introduced, similar policies had been piloted in cities such as Shanghai and Shenzhen, but the Tongzhou plan was innovative in the following three aspects:
1.Enterprise hierarchy system: The key enterprises are divided into three levels: A, B, and C, corresponding to different priority rights
2.Dynamic quota mechanism: Adjust the allocation ratio every quarter based on the company's contribution
3.Rental and purchase connection: Shares of shared property rights can be purchased after the lease term
4. The main points of netizens
| Type of opinion | Representative opinions | Support ratio |
|---|---|---|
| Supporter | "Effectively reduce the living costs of talents and enhance regional competitiveness" | 63% |
| Neutral cube | "It is necessary to prevent enterprises from abusing recommendation rights and establish a supervision mechanism" | twenty two% |
| Opposition | "Creating new injustice and squeezing ordinary citizens' application space" | 15% |
V. Policy comparison analysis
| City | Policy name | Implementation time | Key differences |
|---|---|---|---|
| Beijing Tongzhou | Work-House Balanced Rental Policy | October 2023 | Enterprise rating + dynamic quota |
| Shanghai Pudong | Talent housing project | May 2022 | Only for specific industries |
| Shenzhen Nanshan | Enterprise Talent Housing | November 2021 | Enterprise independent distribution |
6. Expert interpretation
Professor Li from the Institute of Urban Planning of Tsinghua University said: "Tongzhou's policy has three major breakthroughs: First, the first is to connect leasing and purchasing rights for the first time; second, the second is to establish an enterprise credit evaluation system; third, the third is to set up a policy exit mechanism. However, attention should be paid to ensuring the supply of basic housing and avoiding the formation of a 'policy welfare group'."
Data from Lianjia Research Institute shows that after the policy was announced, the number of rental consulting in Tongzhou increased by 140%, among which the attention to housing sources around key enterprises increased the most significantly, and it is expected to drive a moderate increase of 5-8% in rents in these areas.
7. Future prospects
The first batch of this policy will benefit about 35,000 employees of 186 key enterprises in Tongzhou District. It is planned to add 8,000 new "working and living balance" housing units in 2024. Relevant departments said they will evaluate the effectiveness of policies every quarter and focus on monitoring three indicators:
1. Employee retention rate in key enterprises
2. Changes in average commuting time
3. House vacancy rate fluctuations
With the refinement and implementation of the policies, more cities are expected to follow up on similar measures to promote the formation of a new urban development model of "industry-city integration and work-housing balance".
