“…Reese and Fasenfest (2003) evaluated the planning process of Federal Economic Development Zones in the United States. Heiduk and Pohl (2001) conducted empirical studies on the technology management and spatial interaction of the Wuhan National Development Zone. Numerous studies have focused on the evolution and driving forces of development zones (Wang and Xu, 2008;Zhang and Shi, 2011;Gao and Jin, 2015), economic growth, and efficiency evaluation (Huang et al, 2017;Liu, 2019;Sun et al, 2020), industrial spatiotemporal pattern characteristics (Fu et al, 2020;Tang et al, 2020;Tian et al, 2020) and future development trends (Yang, 2006;Wei, 2015;Qiu, 2018), which have demonstrated the effects caused by the establishment of development zones.…”

Development zones are important growth poles for promoting regional economic development. However, the spatiotemporal relationship between development zone construction and urban land growth is still unclear. This paper analyzes the spatiotemporal changes of national-level development zones (NDZs), approximately 219 national economic development zones, and 156 high-tech development zones during 1990-2018 in China. The impact of development zone establishment on the growth of surrounding urban land was quantitatively explored using circle buffering analysis and time series comparative analysis. The results show that China's NDZs spread from the southeast coast to the inland area from 1990 to 2018, and the establishment of the development zones has an obvious promoting effect on the surrounding urban land growth. The scope and intensity of influences of the development zone established in different periods present distinct nonstationarity in space and time. Overall, the impact on urban land (IU) of China's NDZs established in different years was mostly highest at the 100 m buffer zone radius, while the slope of the IU was mostly negative, which meant that the 100 m buffer zone radius of the development zone center was the most efficient scale to promote urban land growth. In the meantime, the curve

“…The zones were based on the concept of free ports in European cities, Land 2022, 11, 972 2 of 32 such as Venice and Marseilles, dating back to the early seventeenth century, but within an East Asian context that fostered labor-intensive manufacturing, and ran parallel to a series of economic and social crises [12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. Nevertheless, an emerging body of supporters has looked at a longer-term process, underlining the opinion that development zones begin as spatial formations, in which the main conditions for success are created, leaving space for the developments of practicality and entrepreneurship [19]. In such spaces, China's national policymakers learned from more advanced global governing and economic bodies, enabling them to shift to different strategies, based on the requirements of entrepreneurs and economic law, to produce more efficient and advanced areas of global production [3,4].…”

China’s development zones have been enjoying a process of dramatic growth and restructuring since the start of the new millennium, which has been extensively documented in the literature. The growth stems from the increased scope and expansion in demand created by China’s economic growth, as well as gradual global economic reconfiguration, which has, in itself, become a factor in advancing the country’s spiraling economic growth. This article examines the trajectory of the growth and restructuring of China’s development zones since 1984, by reviewing critical policies and their measures and effects, as well as academic research in this field, focusing on transitional stages, features and mechanisms. Based on different academic viewpoints, the work sets out a three-pronged conceptual framework composed of institutional transition, industrial evolution and land use transformation to systematize the growth process. In recent years, the restructuring of development zones has come to be considered as a comprehensive and complex issue, and its main challenges arise from factors such as overcoming outdated institutional arrangements, strengthening market participation, promoting high-end industrial agglomeration and breaking the bottleneck of inefficient land use. This article uses a multi-dimensional, logical approach to address the growth of development zones, and examines relevant practices and studies so as to explore the deeply rooted correlations between different dimensions in more depth and to examine the innate and unchanged logic involved in the restructuring of development zones.
