Spatial–Temporal Patterns and Driving Factors of Rapid Urban Land Development in Provincial China: A Case Study of Jiangsu

Abstract: Abstract:Since its economic reform and opening-up, China has undergone unprecedented urbanization, where massive areas of rural land have been converted into urban use. Urban land development plays an important role in dynamic urban economic development. This study aims to contribute to the understanding of urban land development and its mechanisms in China. We conceptualized the mechanism of urban land development from multiple perspectives based on a case study in Jiangsu Province. We employed the methods of… Show more

“…In terms of space, urban land use efficiency in China is generally high in the east and low in the central and western regions. In the eastern region, there is a phenomenon of high-value agglomeration, and in the central and western regions, there is a pattern of central periphery [36][37][38]. The conclusion of this study also showed that the large-scale expansion and sprawl of the city led to changes in urban spatial structure and affected the input scale of all kinds of land, thus affecting the land use efficiency, leading to an imbalance in land use efficiency in different areas of the city.…”

“…When projections are made in 2032 based on existing trends, settlements will experience an increase in area almost three times greater than the previous period. The increase in population is not only the main factor in changing other land cover into residential areas but is also related to urbanization [18]. Settlements continue to experience an increase in area from other land cover conversions, which have a massive impact on the expansion of urban areas in the region [19-[20].…”

“…Natural factors are mainly topographic conditions, such as elevation and slope [21,24,28,[33][34][35], that restrict urban land development. Socioeconomic factors include population [21,[34][35][36][37][38], GDP [34,[36][37][38][39], urbanization rate [40,41], fixed-asset investment [34,38,42], foreign direct investment [36,43], and urban wages or disposable income [33,34,36,39,42]. Infrastructure factors are mainly traffic conditions [38,42].…”
