With the rapid growth that most Chinese cities experience, urban and transportation planning become increasingly important in developing pathways towards sustainable development. Spatiotemporal simulation models can support understanding of urban dynamics and assessing the impact of policy alternatives by answering questions such as: What will a city look like in the future if different spatial planning alternatives are applied? How will new land use or transport investments affect the populations' access to jobs or specific activities locations in the city? How robust are planning alternatives under different assumptions of socio-economic growth? This paper reports on work that has been carried out in a World Bank funded project to demonstrate methodologies and tools to support Chinese municipalities, such as Wuhan, in developing sound land use and transportation planning strategies based on scenarios of land use change coupled with accessibility indicators. The aspect of sustainability addressed in this study relates to the performance of transport systems and how these influence the livability of the city, measured in terms of accessibility. First, a land use change simulation model (Metronamica) has been set up for the central urban core of Wuhan and calibrated for the period 1994 to 2004 using historic data and expert judgment. Next, seven policy-relevant land use change scenarios have been developed, starting with a Business-as-Usual scenario, assuming a continuation of historic land use dynamics combined with current land use and transport policies. These scenarios have been analyzed to show possible future land use developments and the impact of different policy alternatives on urban development. Two activity-based accessibility indicators have accordingly been measured in a GIS environment to study the effects of the land use change and transport interventions on accessibility to jobs over time. In addition, eight accessibility scenarios have been linked to the land use change scenarios. The results from these scenarios showcase the 'cause-effect' relation between planning, land developments and accessibility and demonstrate the utility of the approach and methods. Such an approach combining scenario based spatial analysis and simulation can provide an added value to urban policy and practice in China and elsewhere.

Planning of urban emergency shelters, especially metropolitan shelters, is an important method to mitigate disasters , for example, earthquakes, fires, floods and other disasters. In this paper, Ordinary Voronoi Diagram (OVD) and Weighted Voronoi Diagram (WVD) are used to determine the responsibility areas of existing emergency shelters in GIS. Firstly, we analyze and select the factors affecting responsibility area; secondly, we determine their weights; then we generate the Weighted Voronoi diagram in ArcGIS. The data include locations and areas of existing emergency shelters, district boundary, road network, geological data, terrain data etc. The method is introduced in detail in this paper as well as a case study of using the method for earthquake emergency shelters in Wuchang district, Wuhan, China. The results test the effectiveness of the method in urban emergency shelters planning.

Since the late 1990s, the rapid urbanisation process in China has been related to an apparent paradigm change in the spatial development model of Chinese city regions. With the development focus shifting to large cities, the roles and development patterns of small towns have changed. The bottom-up, self-organised and dispersed development models that prevailed during the 1980s are less relevant. Instead, land use planning for these small towns is increasingly integrated into government regional development visions, with large cities as the cores. There have also been changes to administrative boundaries (rescaling of government) to facilitate more strategic and coordinated regional development. This paper contributes to the understanding of such changing scale and spatial structure of Chinese city regions through a case study on the Panyu district, a former small town in Guangdong province that has been integrated into the development of Guangzhou metropolitan area since the year 2000. The study shows that despite concerted attempts by government to shape spatial development in more sustainable ways, new settlement has mostly taken the form of dormitory (sleeping) suburbs that have not reduced congestion in the city centre. Based on this empirical study, the paper also facilitates the understanding of contemporary local conditions for the development of small towns within the regional development context in China.

In the process of industrialization and rapid urbanization, with the deterioration of ecological environment and the advocating of urban sustainable development concept, urban agriculture has developed gradually. There is a complex and close connection between urban agriculture and urban sustainable development; this paper discusses the interacting mechanism between urban agriculture and the urban system. Based on "core-periphery" theory, multifunctionnality of agriculture theory and so on, this paper analyzes the basic situation of urban agricultural development by using the panel data of 16 cities from 2000 to 2008 in China, and further puts forward urban agricultural and urban sustainable development strategy which is based on the urban and rural unified planning.

This research investigated the influence of individual characteristics and the built environment on grocery shopping destination choice in the Seattle-King County Area. Four binary logistic models served to estimate the impact of individual characteristics and built environments on grocery shopping destination choice. The results showed that the respondents' attitudes toward food and the individual socioeconomic status exerted the strongest influence on the destination choice. Built environment variables only had a modest influence.

This paper, systematically, introduces the public housing policy in United States, from 1865 to 2000. According to the characteristics of the public housing policy in each period, the author divides it into four stages, embryonic stage (1865–1929), exploratory stage (1930–1964), development stage (1965–1973 years), mature stage (1974–2000). Then, four laws of evolution of public housing policy in the United States are drew from the analysis: first, participation mode of government changes from the government-led to market-driven; secondly, security objects are altered from middle and low income group to low income group; thirdly, security target is turned from directly providing the supply of the public house to giving the subsidy to the demanding group; fourthly, security mode is transformed from fixed construction of public house to providing the free choice for residents. The author sums up four main factors that affect the public housing policy in the United States, political events at home and abroad, the objective laws of urban development, progress of science and technology, the new liberal ideas prevailing. Finally, this paper poses four suggestions for China's public housing policy, based on experience in the United States: guiding the effective housing supply and effective demand, to control housing prices; providing free choice to promote living mix, eliminating the spatial differentiation; optimizing urban spatial structure, to improve the performance of ensuring housing space; strengthen the market participation, to avoid government failure.

For the first time in the history China had more urban than rural residents in 2011. China's urbanization has distinct features including highly mixed urban and rural space, a massive flow of rural-to-urban migration and a phenomenal addition of new urban areas. Urbanization brings both benefits and problems to China and its people. Many concerns have arisen after thirty years of rapid and complex urbanization. In order to study China's urbanization, domestic and global economic, political, historical, and sociological perspectives have to be incorporated. In many countries urbanization has been strongly influenced by globalization, marketization, and industrialization. China presents a different case spatially, demographically, and more importantly, institutionally. This article constructs a theoretical inquiry of the institutional mechanism of China's urbanization by integrating previous studies on various aspects of China's urbanization and proposing a conceptual framework. Questions are asked to investigate the internal and external drive, institutional mechanism and arrangement, and consequences of urbanization. With new features and challenges of China's urbanization being studied, policy changes will be proposed to mitigate negative outcomes and adjust the trajectory of urbanization in China. This article will enhance the theoretical understanding of China's urbanization and provide direction for future development.

The “Housing with Limited Property Rights (HLPR)” has become a very serious problem confronted within Chinese urban development. This paper attempts to unveil the formation mechanism of the HLPR in Nanjing. It first provides the research background and then reviews the most important literature on this issue. Subsequently, this paper puts forward a conceptual framework which is mainly based on theory of space, power and resistance. After briefly introducing the general condition of HLPR in Nanjing, this paper analyzes the formation mechanism of HLPR in Xingwei Village, and the problems it caused. This paper identifies that, it is the practice of state power during the process of rural land expropriation, the extremely tense financial situation confronted with the villagers committee, and its political identity related to the financial condition, which mutually integrate and generate the illegal action of occupying collectively owned land to real estate development.

In China, many metropolises (such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Wuhan) are developing metro railway systems to relieve traffic jam. Due to lack of quantitative analysis tools for comparison of different options, planners have to make decision for metro station locations mainly based on their experiences and qualitative approaches which are considered unreliable to a certain extent. Therefore, we present a number of quantitative methods and measures based on GIS in this research. A case study has been conducted in Wuhan to test the effectiveness of these methods and quantitative measures. Luxiang Roundabout area in Wuhan where six major roads intersect, is inflicted with heavy traffic jam. To reduce the traffic volume, Guanggu metro station has been under construction nearby. We implement three methods to determine the service area of Guanggu metro station: buffer analysis, network analysis and Cost Distance analysis. After comparison, Cost Distance analysis is proven to be a more accurate and reliable way to analyze walking accessibility and service area of a metro station. Then, we measure and compare the amount of accessible area, building footprint area, building floor space within different walking time to the metro station under construction and a possible alternative location with station located in the center of the roundabout. The latter one offers a better choice in terms of walking accessibility.
