Abstract: Construction land reduction (CLR) is a policy innovation for Shanghai to explore high-quality economic development, but it will also lead to spatial injustice in the implementation process. Although the literature on spatial injustice and CLR is increasing, very little is known about the influence of spatial injustice in CLR on residents’ policy acceptance of the economic–social–ecological objectives of CLR. To fill the knowledge gap, this study uses micro-survey data to identify the factors that influence residents’ policy acceptance of the economic–social–ecological objectives of CLR. Results show that: (1) Spatial injustice in CLR significantly reduces residents’ policy acceptance of the social and ecological objectives of CLR. (2) The locational disadvantage of villages significantly reduces residents’ policy acceptance of the ecological objectives of CLR. (3) The more educated the residents are, the more they recognize the social and ecological objectives of CLR. (4) The higher the percentage of household workers, the more residents endorse the economic and social objectives of CLR. (5) Compared with ordinary residents, cadres are more accepting of the economic objectives of CLR. (6) Robustness tests support the findings of this study. The findings of this study provide insights for sustainable CLR policy reform.
