This study investigates green gentrification and its effects on housing prices around urban parks in Osaka City, Japan. Using data from 2010 to 2022, it combined Moran’s I spatial analysis and the Hedonic Pricing Model to examine changes in four core indicators (land price, high-rise building ratio, proportion of white-collar workers, and proportion of highly educated residents) to assess the economic, spatial, and social effects of green gentrification and clarify the relationship between green infrastructure investment and socio-spatial restructuring. The results showed that the size of urban parks was significantly associated with the intensity of green gentrification: only areas surrounding large parks experienced greater increases in gentrification indicators than the citywide average, while small and medium parks showed no significant differences. This suggests that large parks are more likely to attract middle- and high-income populations due to their greater landscape value and policy investment, driving social class turnover and housing price increases. Among the social structure variables, the proportion of white-collar residents consistently showed a significant positive association with both rent and sale prices, while educational attainment had no significant effect, suggesting that occupational structure better reflects residents’economic capacity and purchasing power as the key determinant of housing price increases. |
