“…Urban-rural equalized development is considered an effective way to narrow the societal, social-economic, and environmental gaps between urban and rural areas in China [52]. According to our findings, the most effective way for urbanization is to relocate public infrastructures and man-made green spaces from the downtown to satellite towns.…”

Abstract:Quantifying the landscape pattern change can effectively demonstrate the ecological progresses and the consequences of urbanization. Based on remotely sensed land cover data in 1994, 2000, 2006 and a gradient analysis with landscape metrics at landscape-and class-level, we attempted to characterize the individual and entire landscape patterns of Shanghai metropolitan during the rapid urbanization. We highlighted that a roadscape transect approach that combined the buffer zone method and the transect-based approach was introduced to describe the urban-rural patterns of agricultural, residential, green, industrial, and public facilities land along the railway route. Our results of landscape metrics showed significant spatiotemporal patterns and gradient variations along the transect. The urban growth pattern in two time spans conform to the hypothesis for diffusion-coalescence processes, implying that the railway is adaptive as a gradient element to analyze the landscape patterns with urbanization. As the natural landscape was replaced by urban landscape gradually, the desakota region expanded its extent widely. Suburb areas witnessed the continual transformation from the predominantly rural landscape to peri-urban landscape. Furthermore, the gap between urban and rural areas remained large especially in public service. More reasonable urban plans and land use policies should push to make more efforts to coordinate urban-rural development. This study is a meaningful trial in demonstrating a new form of urban-rural transects to study the landscape change of large cities. By combining gradient analysis with landscape metrics, we addressed the process of urbanization both spatially and temporally, and provided a more quantitative approach to urban studies.

“…With greater insight into the changes of landscape patterns along an urban-rural gradient, the uneven distribution of public facilities and green land reflects the existing dual urban-rural socioeconomic structure that was a main obstacle for regional development. Urban-rural equalized development is considered an effective way to narrow the societal, social-economic, and environmental gaps between urban and rural areas in China [53]. According to our findings, the most effective way is to speed up both rural urbanization and suburbanization by extending public infrastructure and green space from the downtown to satellite towns and rural areas.…”

The urban growth pattern in two time spans conform to the hypothesis for diffusion–coalescence processes, implying that the railway is adaptive as a gradient element to analyze the landscape patterns with urbanization. As the natural landscape was replaced by urban landscape gradually, the urban fringe expanded radically. The results also showed that the desakota region expanded its extent widely. Satellite towns witnessed the continual transformation from the predominantly rural landscape to peri-urban landscape. Furthermore, the gap between urban and rural areas remained large especially in public service. More reasonable urban plans and land use policies should push to make more of an effort to transition from the urban-rural separation to coordinated urban-rural development. This study is a meaningful trial in demonstrating a new form of urban–rural transects to study the landscape change of large cities from a strategic viewpoint. By combining gradient analysis with landscape metrics, we addressed the process of urbanization both spatially and temporally, and provided a more quantitative approach to urban studies.

“…Per capita GDP is widely used to compare the regional inequality [21][22][23]27,49,55,56], and this study will select per capita GDP as the indicator that can reflect the regional inequality objectively. Due to China's sector consisting of the Primary Sector, the Secondary Sector, and the Tertiary Sector, naturally, the per capita GDP of each sector is selected as the indicator to measure the each sectoral regional inequality.…”

Analysis of Regional Inequality from Sectoral Structure, Spatial Policy and Economic Development: A Case Study of Chongqing, China

Inequality is a large challenge to sustainable development, and achieving equity has already become one of the top goals in sustainable development of the UN's post-2015 development agenda. Located in the western inland region of China, Chongqing is characterized by "big city, big countryside, big mountain area, big reservoir area" and its regional inequality is more serious. This paper is to explore Chongqing's regional inequality from sectoral structure, spatial policy and economic development by constructing, decomposing, and calculating the inter-county per capita GDP Gini Coefficient. Through this study, it is mainly found that: (1) Chongqing has experienced a dynamic evolution from unbalanced development to balanced development, and its regional inequality has been decreasing steadily in recent years; (2) the Tertiary Sector gradually contributes most to regional inequality; (3) inequality between regions is the main section of regional inequality; (4) the spatial policy as per regional division of Five Function Areas is more rational than the division of the main urban and suburb areas; and (5) economic development is the best way to reduce the regional inequality. Based on the results of empirical study and the reality of Chongqing, targeted and systematic policy suggestions are proposed to reduce regional inequality and promote sustainable development.
