Abstract of presentation

Urban planning in China as we know is concerned with spatial structures of land uses. As a matter of fact, it is the interests in land that is the more important factor than spatial structures for urban planning, for the spatial structure of land uses is determined by the interests in land. With increasing incidences of conflict between public interests and private interests, it is noted that most of them are caused by land uses which are regulated by urban planning. The most challenging issue is the land development under institutional uncertainty in the peri-urban areas. China’s economic reforms are characterized by gradual institutional change. The gradual institutional change brings about institutional uncertainty. Because of that, ambiguous and incomplete land rights over the collectively-owned rural land have induced disorderly competition for land rents. Lack of planning control yields uncontrolled negative externalities, resulting in urban environment deteriorating.

传统的城市规划主要关注土地利用的空间结构。事实上，城市规划更重要的因素是土地利用的利益关系，土地的空间结构受制于土地的利益结构。城市建设中公共利益与个体利益冲突的事件日益频繁，大多与土地利用有关，而土地利用由城市规划限定。对城市规划更具挑战的是城乡结合地区土地开发的制度不确定性。中国经济改革的关键特征是渐进式的制度变迁，但是，渐进式改革也带来了制度不确定性。因为制度不确定性，农村集体所有制土地的模糊和残缺产权引发对土地租金仓促无序的攫取，缺乏规划控制导致大量的负面外在性，城市建成环境恶化。
