Abstract: Abstract With the rapid development of China's economy and the implementation of innovation strategy, talents have become the core element of urban development. Housing is a key factor to attract and retain young talents. Various studies have analyzed the role of talent housing in urban development. However, few have explored the residential experiences of these talents or their urban settlement intention. To fill in the research gaps, this paper aims to examine the socio-economic features, housing characteristics and residence plans of young talents. The effects of the abovementioned factors on urban settlement intention were examined by employing binary logistic regression, based on the data from a city-wide questionnaire survey in Shanghai. According to the analysis, Hukou is still an important factor affecting urban settlement intention of young talents. Housing characteristics have significant influences on their settlement intention. Our findings indicate that the government should strengthen the support for young talents in terms of their housing and career development. Attention should be paid to the layout and location of talent housing.
