Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides researchers and practitioners with an informed study of the land and real estate market in Shanghai. While, there are a number of well-researched books devoted to studying the economic consequences of China's transition to the capitalist market system, few are written about the country's privatization of land control. This book fills the gap by examining the land market mechanism arising from the land use rights reform in Shanghai, which has important implications for real estate development in China as a whole.

Abstract: Abstract of dissertation entitled Governance Mechanisms of Governance Mechanisms of Urban Fringe Land Use in China: Urban Fringe Land Use in China: A Case Study of Nanjing A Case Study of Nanjing Submitted by Xin Yao Xin Yao for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Hong Kong in April 2004 Urban sprawl has taken place since China carried out urban fringe land use planning over two decades ago. This dissertation endeavours to explore the factors leading to such weak controls over urban expansion. Many scholars have attributed these weak controls over urban fringe land use to land developers, managers, landowners and other land users, claiming that these land use agencies only look after their own interests. Other scholars have instead attributed such weak controls to local governments. They claim that these governments have failed to observe the policies of the Central government and they only have local development in mind. Nevertheless, such an approach is inapplicable to the actual economic situation, in which a transition from planned economy to socialist market economy has been taken place. Bear in mind that market forces and power of government coexist in the transition of socialist economy. Both the agencies and the local governments acting on behalf of the Central government can have their voice heard in decision-making involving urban fringe land use development. Although various agencies have emerged after the initiation of urban land reforms, the Central government can still exercise its influence over them. Recently, some scholars consider that government capacities have been embedded in social problems. This dissertation has adopted the theoretical framework for exploring Ithe social problems in China that have exerted their influence on China's urban fringe land use planning institutions. Ever since the land reform has initiated in China, urban sprawl in Nanjing has emerged in succession. As a result, the Nanjing municipal government has exerted more control over the urban fringe land use in order to curb the increasingly grave situation of urban sprawl. A great number of urban fringe land use institutions have been established including the institutions of urban fringe land use zoning, urban growth boundary, rural land balance system and rural land occupation tax. In the meantime, the Nanjing municipality has been confronted with serious social problems, in particular urban-rural disparity. I argued that this discrepancy would effect the planning institutions of urban fringe land use exactly. To substantiate my argument, I have selected three projects of urban fringe land development involving different agencies for discussion. They are Metro-J project (foreign-funded project receiving foreign direct investment), JHTID-S project (state-funded) and BASF-Y project (Chinese-foreign joint venture). Through an investigation into the land use planning permissions of the three projects mentioned above. I have found that agencies emerging in land development are always striving for their own interests. At the same time, the Nanjing Municipal Planning Bureau (NMPB) represents the Central government in making policies for urban fringe land use. The implementation of such policies like urban fringe land use zoning, urban growth boundary, arable land balance system and arable land occupation tax have created an extremely unfav

Book excerpt: How China Became Capitalist details the extraordinary, and often unanticipated, journey that China has taken over the past thirty five years in transforming itself from a closed agrarian socialist economy to an indomitable economic force in the international arena. The authors revitalise the debate around the rise of the Chinese economy through the use of primary sources, persuasively arguing that the reforms implemented by the Chinese leaders did not represent a concerted attempt to create a capitalist economy, and that it was 'marginal revolutions' that introduced the market and entrepreneurship back to China. Lessons from the West were guided by the traditional Chinese principle of 'seeking truth from facts'. By turning to capitalism, China re-embraced her own cultural roots. How China Became Capitalist challenges received wisdom about the future of the Chinese economy, warning that while China has enormous potential for further growth, the future is clouded by the government's monopoly of ideas and power. Coase and Wang argue that the development of a market for ideas which has a long and revered tradition in China would be integral in bringing about the Chinese dream of social harmony.

This book was released on 2019-04-12 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1999, this volume aims to explore the impact of China’s recent economic reforms and dynamic economic progress on land use, the property market and construction activity under the leadership of Deng Xiaoping until his death in 1997. Following the famine and bloody mayhem of Mao Zedong’s Great Leap Forward and Cultural Revolution, Deng Xiaoping took on the task of piecing the country back together to once more become a leading world economy. Here, Jean Jinghan Chen and David Wills concentrate on his reforms and progress, examining at what point power can be said to have passed from Deng Xiaoping to Jiang Zemin, to what extent Deng’s political philosophy remained in place under the new government and what this means for China’s economic reforms on land, property and construction. The authors provide a view on how management of the physical environment needs to be considered in the context of economic progress to achieve sustainable development.
Download or read book China s Urban Construction Land Development written by Tao Liu and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-10-16 with total page 474 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the nature and internal dynamics of China’s urban construction land (UCL) development, drawing insights from the recently developed theory of regional political ecology. Based on the author’s original research, it identifies two different types of UCL development in China, namely top-down, formal development in the legal and regulated domain, and spontaneous and informal, bottom-up development in the semi-legal, poorly regulated gray domain. Presenting a systematic analysis and comparison, it reveals a scale and speed of informal land development no less significant than that of formal land development, although informal land development tends to be scattered, pervasive, difficult to track, and largely overlooked in research and policy formation. Contrary to the popular perception of the peasantry as passive victims of land development, this book uncovers an intriguing dynamic in which the peasantry has played an increasingly (pro)active role in developing their rural land for urban uses in informal markets. Further, based on an investigation of UCL development in Beijing and Shenzhen, it shows an interesting trajectory in which the uneven growth and utilization of UCL are contingent upon the various developmental milieus in different places. China’s land institutions, based on an urban–rural dual land system, are not conducive to the ultimate goal of saving and efficiently utilizing land. Accordingly, an urban–rural integrated land market and management system is highly advisable. The theoretical and empirical enquiry presented challenges the perceived notion of China’s UCL development as the outcome of market demand and state supply. Further, it argues for an inclusive treatment of the informality that has characterized urbanization in many developing countries, and for a reassessment of the role played by the peasantry in land-based urbanization.

Download or read book The Transition of China s Urban Development written by Jieming Zhu and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 1999-08-30 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From 1949 to today, China has experienced dramatic changes in its economy and urban development. This book examines these changes and looks at one city, Shenzhen, in detail. The performance and behavior of a fledgling property market in the transitional economy are analyzed in the backdrop of real estate commodification and marketization. Students and researchers in urban geography, urban planning, economics, business, and real estate will find this monograph lucid and original. Two distinctive periods divide the last fifty years of development in China. The period 1949 to 1978 was dominated by central planning. After 1978, however, economic reforms brought a new property market to many of China's cities. The economic surge of this period has transformed these cities and helped create new metropolises. The special economic zone of Shenzhen grew from what was, until 1980, a landscape predominantly made up of rice paddy fields and traditional villages. By 1995, the population of the city grew to more than two and a half million. Two modes of land provision are identified as the main contributors to Shenzhen's urban development process, which is also echoed in other Chinese cities. Incremental urban land reforms are elaborated within a broad framework of institutional change, while marketization has brought many changes to Chinese society. Continued urban reform toward a market economy seems now irreversible.
Download or read book Chinese City and Regional Planning Systems written by Li Yu and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-03-02 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While the Chinese planning system is vitally important to the rapid development which has been taking place over the past three decades, this is the first text to provide a comprehensive examination and critical evaluation of this system. It sets the current system in historical context and explains the hierarchy of government departments responsible for planning and construction, the different types of plans produced and recent urban planning innovations which have been put into practice. Illustrated with boxed empirical case studies, it shows the problems faced by the planning system in facing the uncertainty in the market economy. In all, it provides readers with a full understanding of a complex and powerful system which is very distinct from other planning systems around the world. As such, it is essential reading for all students interested in the current development taking place in China and, in addition, to planning students with a general interest in planning systems and theory.
Download or read book Developing China written by George C.S. Lin and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2009-06-05 with total page 476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the first systematic documentation of the pattern and processes of land development taking place in China in the last two decades George C.S Lin advocates a fresh and innovative approach that goes beyond the privatization debate to probe directly into the social and political origins of land development. He demonstrates the special and paradoxical nature of China’s land development and challenges the perceived notion of a causal relationship between property rights definition, efficient land use, and sustained economic growth. In contrast to the existing literature in which changes in urban and rural land are treated separately, the rural-urban interface is shown to be the most significant and contentious locus of land development where competition for land has been intensified and social conflicts frequently erupted. Theoretically provocative and empirically well-grounded, Developing China provides a systematic, insightful, and authoritative account of the enormous development of China’s precious land resources. As such, it will be of great interest to scholars, students, and professional practitioners in the fields of development studies, political economy, regional political ecology, planning, economics, geography, land use management, and sustainable development with a special focus on contemporary China under market transition.

Book excerpt: In the last 30 years, China’s record economic growth lifted half a billion people out of poverty, with rapid urbanization providing abundant labor, cheap land, and good infrastructure. While China has avoided some of the common ills of urbanization, strains are showing as inefficient land development leads to urban sprawl and ghost towns, pollution threatens people’s health, and farmland and water resources are becoming scarce. With China’s urban population projected to rise to about one billion – or close to 70 percent of the country’s population – by 2030, China’s leaders are seeking a more coordinated urbanization process. Urban China is a joint research report by a team from the World Bank and the Development Research Center of China’s State Council which was established to address the challenges and opportunities of urbanization in China and to help China forge a new model of urbanization. The report takes as its point of departure the conviction that China's urbanization can become more efficient, inclusive, and sustainable. However, it stresses that achieving this vision will require strong support from both government and the markets for policy reforms in a number of area. The report proposes six main areas for reform: first, amending land management institutions to foster more efficient land use, denser cities, modernized agriculture, and more equitable wealth distribution; second, adjusting the hukou household registration system to increase labor mobility and provide urban migrant workers equal access to a common standard of public services; third, placing urban finances on a more sustainable footing while fostering financial discipline among local governments; fourth, improving urban planning to enhance connectivity and encourage scale and agglomeration economies; fifth, reducing environmental pressures through more efficient resource management; and sixth, improving governance at the local level.
Download or read book Securing Property Rights in Transition Lessons from Implementation of China s Rural Land Contracting Law written by Songqing Jin and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2012 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper is motivated by the emphasis on secure property rights as a determinant of economic development in recent literature. The authors use village and household level information from about 800 villages throughout China to explore whether legal reform increased protection of land rights against unauthorized reallocation or expropriation with below-average compensation by the state. The analysis provides nation-wide evidence on a sensitive topic. The authors find positive impacts, equivalent to increasing land values by 30 percent, of reform even in the short term. Reform originated in villages where democratic election of leaders ensured a minimum level of accountability, pointing toward complementarity between good governance and legal reform. The paper explores the implications for situations where individuals and groups hold overlapping rights to land.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the interested observer of real estate markets, China is the most fascinating place in the world today, and the coming years promise to be no less intriguing than the recent past has been. This Article offers an overview of how a specific segment of the Chinese real estate market - the acquisition of land use rights - operates in practice, from both a legal and business perspective. I recently interviewed dozens of Chinese and Western experts who are taking part in one of the greatest real estate booms in world history. My conversations with these real estate developers, bankers, government officials, judges, practicing lawyers, consultants, economists, real estate agents, and law and business professors provide acute insights into how China is transforming itself from an economic backwater into a self-styled quot;socialist market economy.quot; The fact that Chinese real estate and business laws are still in an early stage of development, the speed with which the Chinese legal and economic systems are evolving, and the strong cultural tradition of reliance on personal relationships rather than rule-of-law principles all demonstrate why a straightforward doctrinal approach would be incomplete and misleading. My goal here is to establish how this particular aspect of Chinese real estate practice is maturing with what appears to be tremendous success against the backdrop of a young legal system.
