“…Beijing’s spatial development planning was strongly affected by the multi-nuclei garden city idea and the new town programmes in Britain (Madge, 1962). A decentralised concentration strategy has been employed by Beijing’s municipal government when directing spatial development.…”

This research aims to inform the compact city discussion with a case study of Beijing, where urban planning has emphasised clustered suburban development in the past half-century. It uses three decades of census data to describe Beijing’s spatial development trajectory and a household survey to assess its transport impacts. The research reveals an overconcentration of urban activities as a result of the featureless expansion of the central built-up area and the absorption of the suburban clusters; and, a lengthened commuting time stemming from the observed spatial development pattern. Beijing’s experience adds to the existing literature by informing the search for good city forms in urban areas of high density. It is essential to differentiate compact development from overconcentration when combating sprawling development. Developing and maintaining suburban nodal characteristics around public transit can reduce travel in high-density urban areas.

“…Due to the incremental growth observed in a percentage of city inhabitants at the beginning of the 21st century, the development of urbanization has been claimed to be one of the great international developments of the 20th century (Kumar,2015;Mahtta et al, 2022;Canudas-Romo et al, 2022;Mason & Lee, 2022). Such population transfer has attracted the attention of many scholars to new towns and their influencing factors throughout the world (Madge, 1962;Wilson, 1986;Fanni, 2006) .…”

The decision on developing a new town is always informed by the needs and requirements of regional and national planning on the basis of political viewpoints, natural recourses, industrial facilities, and population surplus viewpoints. In different areas, new towns were built to address the emerging social, economic, and environmental problems by supporting better living, enabling urban activities, and supporting industrial expansion. Following the review of the related literature, this study compared the theories and bases for building new towns and studied the experiences of different countries as examples. The present desktop research was carried out based on a narrative review in order to develop a framework for assessing the success of new town projects in response to the underlying needs and aims. Although the survey of literature did not result in harmonized measures of success or failure of new towns, the identified critical measures assist decision-and policy-makers to adopt appropriate strategies to assure a higher rate of success for developing new towns.
