“…The crisis of 1997–98 induced the ‘good governance reforms’ in the social and institutional domains, which also stimulated these nation states to reflect on their unique central-local, state-civil society relations. Their current mode of urban entrepreneurialism 3.0 therefore is preferably portrayed as post-developmental (Miao 2018b) or democratised-developmental (Cheng 2022) instead of neoliberal (Uttam 2019), which denotes the persistent role of the central state while acknowledging the rising influences and autonomies of market agencies, NGOs, local and regional governance bodies (Carroll and Jarvis 2017). It is also in urban entrepreneurialism 3.0 that East Asian states, led by nations such as China, Singapore, but also South Korea (Chen et al, 2019; Kim et al, 2020; Miao 2018a), not only join a plethora of international networks of urban policy exchange and experimentation (Davidson et al, 2019), but also take a lead in creating a broader and more diverse export market for their urban expertise and solutions (infrastructure, housing, health, environment, urban planning and design, data analytics).…”

Several modes of urban entrepreneurialism, variously composed of central-local, state-market, state-civil society, and domestic-international relations, have been apparent since the 1970s. Drawing inspiration from East Asian developmental states, we argue that it is under the most recent mode of urban entrepreneurialism 3.0 that the urban sources of exports and national economic development have been most fully mobilised by states. We illustrate this export of urban expertise with the case of South Korea’s International Information and Telecommunication Technology Program (ITTP), offered by Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST), which trains future ICT and city leaders from developing countries. We trace the history and effects of the ITTP through original empirical research involving interviews and a survey of graduates from the program. The ITTP is revealing of state intrapreneurialism in the export of sector-specific urban expertise with effects on national brands, new markets and the formation of new institutions. The case of the ITTP is one among a variety of means by which East Asian states in particular have projected urban expertise internationally. It also points to these states’ struggle to coordinate institutions involved in, and generate consensus around, national models of urban expertise to be exported.

“…The shortage of industrial land supply is a big problem for these countries and regions in the early stages of promoting industrialization. The local governments attempt to increase the effective supply of industrial land through various policies and measures, which is the most important aspect of industrial land policy in Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan [29]. Japan, Korea, and Taiwan have strong similarities to the Chinese mainland in terms of population, number of places, and the ordering of culture and industry development [30].…”

With the expansion of the scale of industrial land, China’s industrial economy continues to grow at a high speed, but the long-term homogeneous land supply policy has led to low land use efficiency. Exploring differentiated industrial land supply policy (DILSP) innovations can effectively address this issue. However, due to the limited practical cases, there are few studies on the policy innovations of industrial land supply. Based on the life cycle management (LCM) of industrial land (LCMIL), this study uses the policy analysis method to reform and innovate industrial land supply policy to solve the disadvantages of the current industrial land supply policy and proposes the DILSP as its basis. The research shows the following: (1) there are many problems in China’s current land supply policy, but policy innovation in some economically developed cities has achieved positive results, indicating that an effective institutional supply is the best way to solve these problems; (2) the process of industrial land utilization has obvious cyclical characteristics, and a complete process and differentiated supply policy framework based on “differentiated access evaluation, differentiated supply method, differentiated supply period, differentiated supply price, differentiated post-supply supervision” has a certain rationality and feasibility. This study provides an innovative solution to the shortcomings of China’s existing industrial land supply policy, and the idea of applying LCM theory to government policy-making also has a certain reference significance.

“…Regarding the factors affecting the market allocation of industrial land factors, scholars have mainly examined their influence on the market allocation of industrial land factors from the perspective of promotion incentives and the financial pressure of local officials [31,32]. In contrast, the literature has shown that the level of infrastructure construction, population growth, economic development, and land resource endowment has an essential influence on the market allocation of industrial land factors [33][34][35][36]. Unlike developed countries' market-based land distribution systems, China implements the land public ownership system [37].…”

National Industrial Relocation Demonstration Zones (NIRDZs) are essential platforms for promoting regional economic restructuring and optimising inter-regional economic relations. Based on panel data of 287 prefecture-level cities in China and over 200,000 industrial land transactions from 2007–2019, this study conducts an empirical test using multi-temporal DID, propensity score matching, and instrumental variable methods to examine the relationship between NIRDZs and the marketisation of industrial land elements. The results show that the establishment of NIRDZs has a significant inhibitory effect on the market allocation of industrial land elements, and the conclusion still holds after a series of robustness tests. Further exploration reveals that the inhibiting effect of NIRDZs on the marketization of industrial land factors is the result of the combined effect of the takeover effect and activation effect of policies. The takeover effect of “promising government” has “low-end industry lock”, which inhibits the development of factor marketisation; the activation effect can stimulate the inner life of “effective market”, which can promote the marketisation of factors market-oriented allocation. The activation effect is to promote the market-based allocation of urban industrial land by activating three aspects: the level of market environment, the level of market operation, and the level of market access in the pilot cities. The analysis of the regulation effect shows that there is a vertical financial asymmetry and a vertical fiscal asymmetry in the inhibiting effect of NIRDZs on the market-oriented allocation of industrial land. Different levels of urban economic development also bring about different policy effects. This study broadens the understanding of heterogeneous development thinking and market-based management structures for industrial land elements in NIRDZs.
