Land Use Structure Optimization and Urban Development in the Pearl River Delta
Land Use Structure Optimization and Urban Development in the Pearl River Delta
This chapter discusses the relationship between land-use structure optimization and urban development. During periods of rapid economic transformation, the optimization of land-use structures can help to achieve sustainable development, as it enhances land-use efficiency, maintains land production, and strikes a balance for the ecosystem. The chapter also presents the Pearl River Delta (PRD) as a case study to analyse current land-use structures and efficiency, as well as changes in the spatial distribution of different land uses since the 1990s. It identifies the key problems in the PRD's current land-use patterns and concludes with policy recommendations for optimizing land-use structures.
Keywords: land-use structure optimization, urban development, land-use structures, land-use efficiency, land production, Pearl River Delta, PRD
