Abstract

In recent years, new processes for land-use development have appeared that are not entirely in accord with state law in China, especially in areas of rapid urbanisation. This situation results from conflicts between land use and the rapid development of society and economy in these areas. Although urbanisation contradicts the national law of land use in various ways, it reveals the irrationality of the current land institutions, which have to be reformed in order to achieve urban sustainability. After summarizing and analysing some typical processes of land-use development for the rapidly urbanizing areas in the Pearl River Delta metropolis, this chapter presents some conclusions and suggestions for land institution reform in the future.
