The Direction for Reform in China’s Land Administration Policy
Abstract
The insufficient land resource supply and its prominent structural contradictions will seriously limit local economic and social development in China within a short period of time. This situation is related to the current phase of economic development and the accumulated long-term conflicts which have resulted from these contradictions, and it is also related to unreasonable planning by local governments and to the flaws in some mechanisms and systems. In the long run, the proper management of the land supply and a reasonable allocation of land resources are the key steps in assuring the healthy development of the local as well as the national economy and society. Therefore, the development plans of local governments need to be adjusted, the total land resource supply and its structure must be controlled, the system of city land utilization needs to be improved, and intensive land utilization must be promoted.
