This paper applies the perspective of informality to examine the nexus between informal housing finance and housing markets in China. The study explores the causes, formation, influences and consequences of informal housing financing mechanisms in Ordos. It argues that informal housing finance contributes to the local property market boom and becomes an instrument of wealth building through homeownership, but classifies and reinforces social classes based on their gains from the property market. The study discusses the possibilities of institutionalizing informal housing finance and diversifying economic structures, with special consideration of resource-based frontier cities.

Mega Cities

China’s planned mega-cities contain hidden, informal housing markets. We analyse Shanghai’s ‘group rental’ market in which formal commercial and residential units have been illegally converted into extremely crowded dormitories. In 2016, we collected more than 33,000 online classified advertisements for beds in group rental apartments and find that this market serves a specific demographic with robust preference order patterns. Furthermore, groundtruthing fieldwork revealed that the scraped online data misrepresented the market. Therefore, we also collected a second set of ‘real’ market data for comparative analysis. The study highlights both the exciting possibilities and the limitations of using online content to study informality.
