“…Urbanization of the JJJ, YRD and PRD has benefited from their geographic proximity to the coast areas of China where most industries and commercial centers are located [2,31,64]. These three urban agglomerations can be regarded as the most important centers of Chinese trade, commerce, manufacture and industry [21].…”

“…Setting the study area as China, Huang et al [29] carefully illustrated that the urban expansion in China from 2005 to 2008 was influenced by globalization, marketization and the process of decentralization. At the regional scale and city scale, numerous studies on the extent, pattern and driving forces of urban expansion were focused on individual or several metropolitan cities in China, especially the more developed cities in the east of China, such as Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin, and Guangzhou [30][31][32][33]. Some urban remote sensing projects generated data and statistics based on jurisdictions, but failed to justify how to effectively link the data to pattern analysis of urbanization across multiple levels of jurisdiction.…”

Detailed studies on the spatiotemporal patterns of urban agglomeration in the Middle Yangtze River Basin (MYRB) are rare. This paper analyzed the spatiotemporal patterns of urbanization in the MYRB using multi-temporal remote sensing data circa 2000, 2008 and 2016 integrated with geographic information system (GIS) techniques and landscape analysis approaches. A multi-level analysis of the rate and intensity, type as well as the landscape changes of urban expansion at regional, prefectural and inner-city levels was performed. Results show that the MYRB experienced rapid urban expansion with an annual expansion rate of 3.199%, especially in the Chang-Zhu-Tan and Poyang Lake metropolitan areas. The small and medium cities presented faster urban expansion than the larger cities with annual growth rates three times the average level. Urban expansion within the three capital cities was further analyzed in detail. It is found that outlying expansion and edge-expansion were the dominant growth patterns at all the three levels. Although urbanization in the MYRB has a remarkable increase in the past sixteen years, its annual growth rate of urban land expansion has fallen behind the three other large urban agglomerations in China as a result. Finally, the spatial evolution of the socioeconomic structure of the MYRB was further explored. It indicated that urban land was distributed mainly along the "northwest-southeast" direction and that the economic spatial interactions among cities showed a pattern of "multi-polarization and fragmentation", which illustrates the weak radiative driving forces of the central cities. The MYRB urban agglomeration faces a great challenge to manage trades-offs between narrowing the intra-regional disparity and maintaining synergetic development among cities.

“…China has experienced unprecedented economic growth and population urbanization since its economic reform and opening up. Nowadays, China is the global engine of not only economic growth but also urban population growth (Quan et al, 2015). Corresponding to this rapid urbanization, urban land in China dramatically expanded between 1980 and 2011, increasing by 78.5% compared with an urban population growth rate of 46% at the expense of rural land such as farmland, grassland, and forestry (Li et al, 2011;Jiang et al,2013;Jiang et al, 2014;Zhao et al, 2014).…”

a b s t r a c tChina has been experiencing rapid urbanization, with a large amount of rural land converted into urban land, leading to debate by researchers and governments. This study investigates the endogenous factors influencing urban expansion and quantifies their effects to promote intensive and sustainable urban land use in order to realize new-type urbanization, by employing GIS technology and an endogenous growth model. The simulation results explain the expansion of urban land in the case of Baotou city, China. The result shows that the land management institution(LMI) has played a critical role in urban land expansion in Baotou city. Its multiplier effect reaches 0.166, which means a one percentage point increase in the strength of LMI leads to a 0.166% increase in urban land area. The presented analysis reveals four main findings. Firstly, the major factors influencing urban expansion are (LMI), urban disposable income per capita, the secondary and tertiary industry, technological progress, and population density. Secondly, LMI has a critical influence on urban expansion. Thirdly, technological progress has a positive effect on urban expansion by merging into the secondary and tertiary industry. Finally, population density and the tertiary industry have a dampening effect on urban expansion. According to the analysis, we suggest that the central government in China should regulate the behavior of local governments to reduce principal-agent risk, as they hold the state land property rights as the trustee of the public. Meanwhile, the government should pay more attention to guiding technological progress by promoting industrial transformation and economic quality, not just focusing on economic quantity, especially for resource-based cities.

“…An increasing number of planners, policymakers and academic researchers have focused on outcomes of land use plan implementation in construction land in China. Considerable efforts have been undertaken to understand the process of construction land expansion [1,3,6,17,[23][24][25][26][27] and its drivers [17,[28][29][30][31]. Furthermore, frameworks for evaluating Land Use Plan [15,[32][33][34] and the effectiveness of the control of construction land have been analyzed and discussed [13,15,16,35,36].…”

Nowadays the relationship between planning land use and actual land use is not so clear in general. A lot of efforts have been put in the failures of regulation for the expansion of construction land. However, it still lacks an integrated approach to study the effectiveness of land use regulation in terms of different land use types. Furthermore, the existing evaluation of land use plan mainly focuses on a general level, a detailed research on the regulation effectiveness of each construction land use type is absent. Therefore, this research tries to evaluate regulation effectiveness of land use plan, which takes Cangwu country, Guangxi Province as an example. The finding by analysis is that the total area of construction land expansion was about 3494.73 ha, nearly 1.1 times of the plan quota. Moreover, the effectiveness differs greatly in various construction land use types. Town, industrial/mining sites can be well regulated through the quota of land use plan. While, the quota regulation system is not as effective for other type of construction land. Thus, we suggest to improve the regulation effectiveness of construction land through different plan instruments.
