随着对全球竞争力和经济增长的追求，中国城市出现了大规模的城市用地扩张。本文以南京为例，考察了发展政策和经济结构调整对中国城市土地扩张的影响。南京是中国快速发展和全球化的沿海城市的代表。他研究了发展过程和政府政策的变化内容，并将开发区和重点项目分析为发展过程中的特权因素、特质形成因素，甚至是开创性因素。我们强调了中国国家在城市发展过程中的转型和悖论，以及中国城市土地扩张背后的广泛背景。我们认为中国的城市扩张主要是响应中央政府自上而下的政策变化和经济转型的过程。我们认为，要理解城市转型和土地扩张，必须超越可达性和可行性等地方性因素，分析国家的作用。然而，开发区和项目热，以及滞后的行政改革，使中国的城市负债累累，导致了浪费的发展、腐败和社会动荡。
Abstract With the pursuit for global competitiveness and economic growth, Chinese cities have recorded massive urban land expansion. This article examines the effects of development policies and economic restructuring on urban land expansion in China through a case study of Nanjing, representing the rapidly growing and globalizing coastal cities in China. Wei investigate the development process and changing contents of government policies, and analyze development zones and key projects as privileged, trait making, and even path‐breaking elements of the development process. We highlight the transition and paradox of the Chinese state in the urban development process, and the broad contexts underlying urban land expansion in Chinese cities. We see urban expansion in China as a process largely responding to top‐down policy change and economic transition initiated by the central government. We hold that the role of the state has to be analyzed to understand urban transformation and land expansion, moving beyond local factors of accessibility and feasibility. Development‐zone and project fevers, and lagging administrative reforms, however, have made Chinese cities heavy with debt and led to wasteful development, corruption, and social unrest in China.
