自20世纪70年代末改革开放以来，中国城市化和现代化的成果和形式引起了学术界的广泛关注和不同解读。海南岛是中国最大的经济特区，成立于1988年。自那时以来，大量人力资本和投机资本的流入导致真实的房地产，特别是与旅游业有关的房地产的迅速发展。虽然鼓励城市扩展和改善，但目前的过度建设、无管制的土地用途转换和城市环境退化带来了严重的社会和经济问题。本文总结了这一城市增长的轨迹、原因和结果，以及由此产生的规划问题，这些问题使该岛成为中国城市化经验中的一个典型案例。我们认为，建立一个切实可行的框架相结合的社会经济规划，土地利用规划，以及两者的管理，是至关重要的，以实现可持续增长的转型经济。
The outcomes and forms of urbanization and modernization in China following the reform and opening of the late 1970s have attracted extensive attention and competing interpretations in scholarly documentation. This paper focuses on Hainan Island, established in 1988 as the biggest special economic zone in China. Since then, considerable inflows of human as well as speculative capital have led to rapid real estate, in particular tourism-related, development. While urban expansion and improvements have been encouraged, the ongoing over-building, unregulated conversion of land use and degradation of the urban environment present serious social and economic problems. This paper summarizes the trajectory, causal factors and outcomes of this urban growth and consequent planning problems that make the island an atypical case in China's urbanization experience. We argue that the establishment of a practical framework combining socioeconomic planning, land use planning, and the management of both, is crucial to achieve sustainable growth for this transitional economy.
