“…The prosperous real estate market supplies local government with financial resources, leading to the provision of more land for development. This finding echoes those of Abrantes et al (), Padeiro (), Tang, Wong, and Liu (). When economic growth is a priority, especially in developing countries, cities demand more land for real estate and manufacturing industries in the pursuit for economic growth and supplying people jobs.…”

“…When city development becomes growth-led and centered on entrepreneurial governance, it is impossible for the LUMP to control urban expansion. This phenomenon exists not only in Nanjing, but also in other cities, such as Vientiane (Sharifi et al 2014), Lisbon (Padeiro 2016), Barcelona (Pa€ ul and Tonts 2005).…”

“…This coercive plan designates land‐use patterns permitted in specific areas within each local jurisdiction. In this study, we compared practical land use with spatio‐temporal land‐use configuration in the plan (Abrantes et al ; Laurian et al ; Loh ; Padeiro ). Facing socioeconomic uncertainties, the constant adjusting of land‐use patterns and spatial reconfiguration among jurisdictions is inevitable.…”

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

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.

“…The prerequisite of improving the effectiveness of planning regulation is continually reviewing and evaluating plans [22,23]. There are two widely used methods to evaluate the planning implementation effects, namely the conformance-based approach and the performance-based approach [24].…”

“…For this reason, neither qualitative nor quantitative studies are conducted to comprehensively explore the reasons for zoning-land use mismatch. In order to bridge this gap, the major impact factors conducive to built-up land expansion contravention planning intentions need further analysis [22]. The present study explores to what extent a plan has been implemented and what factors have affected zoning-land use mismatch.…”

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.
