Characterizing Sprawl Development in Urban China: A Perspective from Urban Amenity
Published in Land, 2023
Core contribution: This article reframes urban sprawl as a mismatch among land expansion, population growth, and amenity supply. By treating amenities as a diagnostic lens, it reveals how urban renewal, suburbanization, and rural revitalization generate different sprawl trajectories within the same metropolitan system.
Highlights
- Moves sprawl analysis beyond land expansion by adding population and amenity dynamics.
- Uses urban amenities as an indicator of whether development is functionally supported.
- Identifies different sprawl trajectories across core, suburban, and peripheral spaces.
- Argues for locally tailored planning responses rather than a single anti-sprawl policy.
核心贡献: 本文将城市蔓延理解为土地扩张、人口增长与设施供给之间的错配。研究把设施增长作为诊断性视角，揭示城市更新、郊区化和乡村振兴如何在同一都市系统中生成不同的蔓延轨迹。
核心亮点
- 将蔓延研究从单纯土地扩张推进到土地、人口和设施动态的综合分析。
- 把城市设施作为判断发展是否获得功能支撑的诊断指标。
- 识别核心区、郊区和外围地区不同的蔓延轨迹。
- 主张根据地方差异制定规划治理策略，而不是使用单一反蔓延政策。
