“…In the process of attracting both foreign and domestic investment, urban governments tend to establish more and more DZs in the outskirts, which often lead to the agglomerated development of industrial land [57]. Along with the establishing of DZs, various scholars have confirmed that institutional changes, through land use "policies" [58] such as land use right and ownership [59], the tax-sharing reform of 1994 [60], and the housing commercialization reform [61], have great impacts on urban land expansion process in China [33].…”

Urban development in China has attracted considerable scholarly attention. However, more work is still needed to examine and understand the mechanisms of urban land expansion, especially within the context of globalization/marketization, decentralization and urbanization. This paper analyzes urban land expansion and structural changes in the Yangtze River Delta (YRD). We find that cities in the YRD are experiencing urban land expansion mainly characterized by the growth of residential and industrial land. The dominant characteristics of urban land expansion in cities have also varied within different development and administrative levels. Based on our conceptual framework, we have used multi-models to investigate the driving forces of urban land expansion and structural changes in the YRD. The results reveal that six influencing factors-foreign direct investment (FDI), labor, government competition, institution, population, and job-housing relations-facilitate land use change in the economic transition process. However, their impacts differ in cities in different geographical locations, as well as with different administrative levels. Finally, this paper discusses policies to promote sustainable urban land use in the YRD. OPEN ACCESSSustainability 2015, 7 10282

“…In the case of China, it is widely recognized that land supply procedures by local governments do not adhere to the rules of market value assessment and fair competition (Li, Chiang, & Choy, 2011). Domestic players are highly favored, and among them, state-owned companies and private developers operating on a national basis are prominent bid winners (Theurillat, 2014).…”

“…[37]. Thus, a sophisticated dual-track mechanism of market forces and government intervention and power formed in an incomplete market economy has largely affected China's real estate market and the process of residential relocations of different social classes such as EGD and UDDH against a backdrop of urban space expansion and reconstruction [38,39].…”

Abstract:We study urban residential land use changes by analyzing the massive migration and relocation of two typical social classes: employees in government departments (EGD) and urban demolition displaced households (UDDH). After the reform and opening-up of China that has taken place during the last 30 years, the residential land use of both the EGD and UDDH groups has been notable in terms of the changing urban landscape in China's cities. A considerable number of studies highlight the large scale relocations of weaker groups usually through sample surveys at a microscopic scale, which sheds light on the relationships between market forces and government intervention and power. However, employees hired by state government departments and related branches (Shiye Danwei) have been neglected. Bridging the empirical research gap and using Chengdu as a case study, we compare residential relocations of EGD and UDDH groups in Chengdu. Our analysis based on field surveys conducted from [2009][2010][2011][2012][2013] indicates that the relocations of EGD and UDDH are spatially agglomerated due to China's unique dual-track mechanism driven by market forces and government power since the late 1970s. The study shows that most of the UDDH are migrated from urban centers to fringes, while a large number of EGD still agglomerate close to urban centers. Government interventions differentiate residential relocations of EGD and UDDH, and market mechanisms reinforce these relocations. Potential problems caused by the dual-track mechanism are finally discussed and summarized.
