“…This situation complicates the process of transferring successful TOD practice from the West. Chinese cities' urban planning approaches still more or less follow the Soviet model, i.e., the project-oriented mode (Wei & Li, 2002;Wei, 2005). Furthermore, urban land is owned by the state in China.…”

Transit-oriented development (TOD) has been widely accepted in recent years as an important urban development policy. This article reviews the existing TOD literature pertinent to conditions in China, introduces TOD practices in China, and evaluates land development impacts of TOD across 50 Chinese cities that either have metro systems already or expect to have operating metro systems by 2020. The evaluation analysis contributes to the existing literature because most research on TOD in Chinese cities has focused on large, national or provincial capitals such as Beijing, Shanghai, and/or Guangzhou. Based on simulation analysis, we evaluate TOD's land development impacts across all Chinese cities that are expected to have metro systems by 2020. Our results show that the second-as well as the thirdclass cities of China will have more potential for TOD implementation than the first-class cities in the next five years.

“…While different studies have identified a wide ranging external and internal forces that drive the mechanisms of urban land expansion processes [5,34,48,49], we have developed an integrated conceptual framework for this research based on Wei's analytical framework [11,50] because it provides a comprehensive model with different mechanisms and driving forces. The urban land expansion, namely the outward expansion/accretion and the inner reconstruction/replacement, is related to the drivers of local citizen, urban government, and global market, and their interactions (Figure 1).…”

Urban Land Expansion and Structural Change in the Yangtze River Delta, China

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 1984, the State Council permitted Hangzhou to open up to foreign investment, and the city soon initiated incentives for foreign investment. By late 1990s, Hangzhou had been transformed from a socialist town to a transitional city experiencing rapid economic growth, a booming service sector, a massive inflow of migrants, rising foreign investment, and expanding trade (Wei & Li, 2002). In 2001, Hangzhou's GDP reached US$ 18.9 billion, a 12.2% increase from the previous year; its GDP per capita was 25,000 RMB, or equivalent to more than US$ 3000.…”
