“…The clustering of FDI ®rms in the central area indicates the formation of a centralised business area in Guangzhou. Land reforms and the introduction of FDI in urban development has transformed the land use of the city centre (Lo 1986;Grava 1993;Dowall 1993). Mushrooming of high-rising buildings used by FDI in the central area reveals a new phase of urban redevelopment.…”

As a novel type of industrial establishment in the era of globalization, foreign direct investment (FDI) has become a new driving force in the shaping of urban structure. To understand the current worldwide urban restructuring process, the location behaviour of FDI ®rms should be fully investigated. But few empirical studies on industrial location have been carried out at the intrametropolitan scale, probably due to the lack of disaggregated data and appropriate models. This study geo-references FDI ®rms by their postal codes and captures site attributes through cross-referencing ®rm distribution with other spatial coverage such as population statistics, land uses, and designated development zones. This paper argues for a Poisson and negative binomial model of ®rm location based on count-data and tests such a ®rm location model using the case of metropolitan Guangzhou, PRC. Results, in contrast to previous studies at the national and regional scales of this country, con®rm that, at least statistically, intra-urban FDI ®rm location in the context of a transitional economy presents regularities that are explainable according to`rational' economic considerations of site suitability.

“…The goal of announcing the rural land use regulation was to integrate rural residents into urban life through establishment of a unified urban-rural land market. Governments also encouraged rural residents to transfer or mortgage their rural land in the market [34,35]. On 1 March 2013, Wenzhou Municipal Government made a decision enabling the acquisition of collective-owned rural land parcels in Lucheng District [36].…”

Abstract:A collapsed incident occurred on 10 October 2016 in Wenzhou City, China, which resulted in 22 casualties and 6 injuries. Most of victims were migrant laborers (rural dwellers who move to urban for a temporary work), who rented apartments in these residential buildings, which were originally constructed by local rural residents. This case report investigates the collapsed incident as well as other similar previous incidents. From the perspectives of both social and technical aspects, this report analyzed the Chinese rural land use policy with relevant technical factors. These incidents reveal social problems of the existing dual structure land-use policy in China. Chinese dual structure land-use policy caused deficiencies in the supervision of the construction market in rural area so that the following technical factors were not well supervised by the various quality control departments: (1) poorly quality of residential buildings, (2) unauthorized rooftop additions, and (3) differential settlement caused by the uneven distribution of underlying Wenzhou clay under creep conditions. Mandatory regulation by the government for any construction in China, particularly for the construction of self-constructed house building sites in rural areas, was recommended to minimize the resettlement issue of migrant workers.

“…State and local governments determined the production and profit to maintain economic growth and social development at a certain level. This land development policy hindered urban redevelopment and limited the economic development of the country [26]. A turning point in the development of this system was the introduction of a land use rights system in the early 1980s and a land market in the late 1980s [25].…”

Informal Land Development on the Urban Fringe

Urban fringes are an important part of urban growth. In addition to formal land markets, a variety of informal land development methods make urban fringes the most dynamic and complicated areas. The analysis of land transfer and development systems in these areas opens a significant window to understanding the modern processes of urbanization and human and property rights in urban areas in China. This study uses Shanghai as a case study target and identifies specific modes of local land development and investigates how collective participants, government agencies, regulatory policies, and various actors are involved in land development and decision making. The in-depth analysis and case studies indicate that the variety of informal land markets in Shanghai reflects the inherent demands of the market for allocation of land resources within the constraints of the given system and against the given development background. However, conflicts between the mode of the market and the existing institutional constraints reflect the uncoordinated development of the land and the economic and social development around the urban fringe. The empirical results of this paper suggest that government administration should improve the land market system, strengthen the planning of control and guidance, rationalize the distribution of interests in land development, and strengthen the supervision of management of land development enterprises. Instead of fragmented aspects, this paper proposes a systematic analytical approach to understanding the informal land development in a city from an urban planning and land resource management perspective.
