Change since the Reforms
Abstract
Shanghai is the spearhead city in developing China''s enormous Yangtze River
basin. The author is interested in clarifying the mechanisms that dictate the
phenomenal spatial transformation of the cities, suburb
counties, and outer towns in the
Shanghai region. Probing into topics such as decentralization of powers among
government levels, conflicts between sectoral blocks and local
administrative units,
land development and management practices, and the dubious
relations among the local
government and state enterprises, the author tries to
understand the differences in the
spatial development between Shanghai region (under the
"socialist market economy"),
regions under capitalist system and other third-world areas.
With literature basically
lacking in non-capitalist spatial development experiences,
research work of this type
must be considered theoretically significant.
After an introductory statement of intention and procedural
arrangements in the
first chapter, the second chapter reviews relevant literature.
The third chapter is a brief
description of the history of Shanghai''s spatial development,
including its city planning
and the results. Chapters four and five present cases of land use changes and
development projects in the central city, suburb counties and
outer towns/cities.
Finally, the author delineates types of land development and
the factors that underlie
and condition this tremendous spatial overhaul now taking place in the region.
The new systems of paid land use rights, the decentralization
of financial and land
development powers, and a series of reforms in taxation and
management of state-
owned enterprises are seen as the basic conditions of the
transformation. Other factors
(e.g., the income-generating practices of all sorts of
establishments, and local
government''s policies of urban renewal and industrial
relocation, and the pouring in of
foreign capital after low cost labor and cheap land) also have
significant influences.
Keywords: city planning, land use, Post-socialist, Shanghai,
spatial development, urban and regional study.
