Against the backdrop of rapid urbanization, traffic congestion, and rising housing pressure in China’s major cities, this study examines how urban public transportation shapes residential property values, using Hangzhou as a case study. Drawing on public goods theory and hedonic price theory, it constructs a hedonic price model based on 22 refined traffic characteristic variables derived from field surveys and statistical analysis. The analysis shows that distance-based transportation indicators outperform time-based ones in explanatory power, and that actual travel-path measures offer no improvement in model fit. Using an optimal logarithmic specification, the study ranks the influence of individual traffic characteristics and calculates their price elasticities and marginal prices, offering a rigorous empirical basis for coordinating public transport development with urban housing and spatial planning.

About the Author

Dr. Dongling Zhang is an academic researcher specializing in urban economics, real estate markets, and econometric modeling. He is the author of the research paper titled “Analysis of the Impact of Urban Public Transportation on Housing Prices in Hangzhou.” Dr. Zhang’s work primarily centers on the refinement of hedonic price theory and the maturation of spatial model research within modern real estate markets. Driven by the advancements in urban informatization, his current research focuses heavily on enhancing the precision of empirical data and research variables. Dr. Zhang advocates for replacing subjective human factors with quantifiable, objective metrics to minimize bias and drive more accurate, reliable conclusions in future urban development studies.
