Recently, Chengdu, Wuhan, Shenzhen and other cities have released land and space plans one after another, because this is the first time that all localities have released future plans after “multi compliance”, which has attracted much attention from the outside world.
In the past, plans were often released everywhere. Even at the beginning of the new term, plans were intensively issued, resulting in increasingly complex plans, conflicting data and difficult implementation by the executive department. In 2019, China issued several opinions on establishing a land spatial planning system and supervising its implementation, requiring the integration of spatial planning such as main functional area planning, land use planning and urban and rural planning into a unified land spatial planning, and the implementation of “multiple regulations in one”.
What are the highlights of the land and space planning released everywhere?
According to the draft of the master plan for land and space (2020-2035) recently announced in Chengdu, people and cities will be determined by water. According to the constraints of water resources carrying capacity and resources and environment carrying capacity, it is determined that the scale of permanent population will be controlled at 24 million in 2035. Considering the mobility of population and the uncertainty of population development, medical treatment and Public service facilities such as education and transportation and municipal infrastructure.
In the seventh national census, the permanent resident population of Chengdu exceeded 20 million for the first time, reaching 20.938 million. It is the fourth city with a permanent resident population of more than 20 million after Chongqing, Shanghai and Beijing.
In the plan, another city with a population of more than 20 million in the future is Guangzhou. As early as 2019, Guangzhou took the lead in issuing the overall land and space plan of Guangzhou (2018-2035), which proposed that the permanent resident population in 2035 would be 20 million, and the infrastructure and public service facilities would be allocated according to the service population of 25 million.
Other cities may slow down population growth in the future. The plan recently released by Shenzhen shows that it takes “the capital of innovation, entrepreneurship and creativity, and a livable and happy home of Hemei” as the urban vision for 2035, and puts forward that in 2035, the planned permanent resident population will be 19 million, the actual management and service population will be 23 million, and the scale of construction land will be controlled within 1105 square kilometers.
The results of the seventh national census show that the permanent resident population of Shenzhen is 17.5601 million, an increase of 7.1361 million, an increase of 68.46% and an average annual growth of 5.35% compared with 10.424 million in the sixth national census in 2010.
The reason for the possible slowdown of population growth in Shenzhen in the future, or the problems such as “big city disease” caused by the large scale of the city, will slow down the population capacity of some super cities. This is true in both Beijing and Shanghai.
Wuhan proposes that by 2035, it will accommodate 16.6 million permanent residents and provide infrastructure and public service facilities according to the service population of 20 million.
“Multi compliance and integration” is reflected in these plans. Chengdu proposed to strictly control the scale of construction land, reasonably control the intensity of land development in the whole region, and guide the transfer of land development center from east to south. Guangzhou proposed to strictly control the intensity of land space development, with ecological and agricultural space no less than two-thirds of the city area and urban construction space no more than one-third of the city area; Set the upper limit of land resource consumption and strictly control the intensity of land and space development within 30% of the urban area. Wuhan will delimit the urban development boundary and lock the urban space. Urban built-up areas and urban development and construction areas that can be developed and utilized for a certain period of time will be included in the urban development boundary.
At the same time, the central city planning also pays attention to the radiation and driving role of the central city in the economy. Chengdu proposes to promote regional coordinated development and jointly build Chengdu Chongqing world-class urban agglomeration. Chengdu will play an important role in coordinating and leading the development of Chongqing and become a new driving force for the coordinated development of the whole country.
Wuhan stressed that it would strengthen industrial cooperation and transportation networking between Wuhan metropolitan area and urban agglomerations such as Changsha and Nanchang, innovate synergy and ecological co governance, and build a world-class urban agglomeration in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River. Give play to Wuhan’s leading role in the provincial and urban circle, focus on building an 80 km radius Wuhan metropolitan circle, and develop the head economy and hub economy around key advantageous industries such as automobile and biomedicine.
Another feature of these rules is to promote the whole life cycle management of planning, and put forward the formulation of “three control lines” control measures such as ecological protection line, permanent basic farmland and urban development boundary.
In addition, some plans also have housing design. Wuhan proposes that in the future, the per capita housing construction area shall not be less than 45 square meters. Guangzhou proposes that by 2035, more than 2 million urban housing units will be added, and the proportion of rental housing in the supply of new housing shall not be less than 20%; Affordable housing accounts for more than 8% of the city’s new housing supply.
