Abstract
With the construction of youth development-oriented cities, the phenomenon of housing/community youthification has emerged in the central districts of mega-cities. Communities in central mega-cities, which used to be mature, tend to have a significant ageing population and have formed their own cultural atmosphere and social relations. The living conditions of young people in these communities need to be studied. Taking Chuangyu 228, a youth-oriented guaranteed rental housing in Yangpu, Shanghai, as an example, the living conditions and satisfaction of young people are surveyed and analysed based on both the supply-side and demand-side perspectives from the physical, social, and cultural dimensions. The research provides empirical evidence of housing/community youthification in Chinese mega-cities and offers insights for optimising youth housing policies and community planning.
