Abstract

New economic development trends have brought challenges and transformation directions to China’s urban planning process, in which the relationship between supply and demand of urban housing needs urgent optimisation. Using data on multiple types of facilities and housing price information, this paper analysed spatial differentiation characteristics of housing prices in Nanjing. An evaluation indicator system of human environment quality was established under the amenity connotation based on three dimensions of natural amenity, artificial amenity and social atmosphere amenity, and the Gradient Boosting Decision Tree (GBDT) algorithm was applied to investigate the impact of different amenity factors on housing prices. The findings revealed that amenity factors have a positive impact on housing prices, with artificial amenity as the most influential. Partial amenity factors demonstrated nonlinear relationships with housing prices with obvious threshold effects. Based on these findings, this paper proposed targeted supply and demand optimisation strategies in accordance with the above three dimensions, aiming to offer practical recommendations and guidance for improving the quality of the urban habitat.
