“…The land-use plan is a basic policy tool to allocate land resources. Especially in China, the general land use plan gradually plays a critical role in controlling the built-up land expansion by delimiting growth boundaries or zoning areas [5][6][7][8][9].…”

“…However, empirical studies have indicated that whether in Europe, North America, Asia, or elsewhere, land development commonly and frequently fails to conform to land-use plans [5,10]. As a specific category of planning, land-use planning also has the nature of planning, which faces different social, political, and economic uncertainties; and planners hope to confront these uncertainties with their decisions [11].…”

“…Rapid economic growth and tremendous social change pose a serious challenge to planning implementation. In China, the general land-use plan (GLUP) is a comprehensive instrument for controlling built-up land growth [5]. The land development is completely in accordance with the route determined by the economic plan in the planned economy period.…”

A land-use plan is a core policy tool to curb excessive non-agriculturalization of agricultural land. The effect of plan implementation can affect sustainable land use and regional development. Empirical studies have shown that land development commonly and frequently fails to conform to land-use plans. However, neither qualitative nor quantitative studies are conducted to comprehensively explore the reasons for zoning-land use mismatch. To help bridge this gap, this study explored to what extent a plan has been implemented and what factors have affected zoning-land use mismatch. A new deviation discriminant framework of planning implementation was presented. Moreover, the logistics model was applied to discuss which factors substantially affect the zoning-land use mismatch. The plan implementation results were divided into the conformed, exceeded and unused areas. The general land-use plan failed in its spatial control over rural settlements and other built-up lands, with both more than 90% of the newly added construction land beyond zoning. In addition, the newly added construction land of rural settlements, other built-up lands, and transportation lands all exceeded the quota control. Furthermore, the physical factors of distance from the river, the elevation, the slope and the level, and the social-economic factors of the gross domestic product, the fiscal revenue, the fixed assets investments, and the rank of town have prominent effects on zoning-land use mismatch. Enhancing the flexibility of the land-use plan and strengthening the relationship between planning quotas and spatial zoning in the future are necessary to promote the effect of plan implementation.

“… Urban Master Plan contains all arrangement and implementation measures of the designated function, development goal, layout, and construction in a city. LUMP makes the overall arrangement and layout for the utilization, regulation, and protection of lands in space and time (for a more detailed relationship, see Wang and Shen ; Zhou et al, ).…”

Can the Land Use Master Plan Control Urban Expansion and Protect Farmland in China? A Case Study of Nanjing

et al. 2018

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Urbanization represents a challenge for plans aimed at controlling urban expansion and protecting farmland, such as the land use master plan (LUMP) instituted by the Chinese national government. This paper studies the effectiveness of such top–down plans under the authoritarian regime through the case study of Nanjing. In contrast to previous studies that compare actual and planned land‐use maps, we compare actual and planned land‐use patterns. We use land‐use change data to examine spatio‐temporal land‐use change between the years 1997 and 2014. The results indicate that the actual amount of urban‐rural built‐up land exceeded planned regulatory amount by 50,185 ha and the total farmland was 70,541 ha less than the target outlined in the LUMP (1997–2010). Based on these results, and the fact that the allowed total urban‐rural built‐up land had already been surpassed in 2014, it is to be expected that the target of farmland protection outlined in the LUMP (2006–2020) will be broken, signaling the ineffectiveness of the plan to control urban expansion and protect farmland. Plan‐led developments (e.g., new towns, development zones) and market forces (e.g., housing market, foreign direct investment) explain these developments. This study indicates that when cities embrace “growth‐led” development and entrepreneurial governance, the ability of plans to control urban expansion and protect farmland is severely limited.

“…For the past three decades, China's reform and open-door policy have given rise to the rapid development of Chinese manufacturing and service sectors while significant changes have occurred in industrial structures [4]. At the same time, more central business districts (CBDs), sub-CBDs, and office blocks are rising in big cities in China [5,6]. The types of office space tend to be diversified.…”

Producer service industries are an important feature in the current development of a metropolis. Researchers from different countries are increasingly concerned about location changes and the motives of producer service sectors in cities. Given the rapid development of producer service sectors in developing countries, this study examines changes in the distribution of producer service sectors over the past decade and factors influencing them in a case study using the city of Hangzhou in China. Results show that Hangzhou's producer service sector is still mainly concentrated in the central business district (CBD). However, a distinct trend of diffusion to suburban areas was observed, which formed several secondary clusters on the periphery of the city. Locations of the CBD, sub-centers, and professional clusters of producer service sectors established by the government are the most important factors that affect the spatial distribution of producer service sectors. The main influencing factors for the spatial evolution of producer service sectors are: (1) the high development cost and residential suburbanization of the central areas of the city promote the development of producer service sectors toward the periphery; (2) city planning has guided the clustering of producer service sectors on the city's CBD and secondary city centers; (3) city renewal has provided personalized and diversified development space for producer service sectors; (4) incentive policies introduced by the government, such as rentals, and taxes have enhanced the orderly aggregation of producer service sectors.
