Abstract The study on the land out of urban constructing (LOOUC) has began since 1990's in China, and it can be regard as an important outcome in the transformation period of Chinese urban planning development. The planning for the LOOUC coincides with urban growth management, so the planning for LOOUC is focused on the management of urban land-use in the fast urbanization process in China.
In the first, this paper summarizes the total progress on the planning study for the LOOUC in China. The main progress are as follows: 1) the concepts of the LOOUC are similar; 2) the targets and functions of planning for the LOOUC are consistent in order to control urban land-use and promote urban management; 3) the main content of planning for the LOOUC is to classify the types, arrang the distributing and spatial bounds of LOOUC, and then mak policies for implementing and managing; 4) the methods and procedures of planning for LOOUC are similar to urban planning; 5) the guarantees of implementing are diverse. Furthermore, this paper analyzes and summarizes the characters of the progress.They are: 1) the appearance of the studies on LOOUC is correlative with the urbanization process in China, and in fact it is an active response to the process that the fast urbanization impacts on Chinese urban planning system; 2) the common targets are changing the passive status of planning management and searching for practical theories and methods; 3) but there is lack of flexible and practical measures to answer the uncertainty in the fast urbanization; 4) and there is lack of legal supports yet.
Then, this paper makes a deep thinking based on analysis and evaluation. It Considers that the development of planning for the LOOUC needs to build up an initiative and practical idea at first. Meanwhile, it needs to explore the way to solve or ease up the two pressures of expanding land demand from central city and the country. One way is to build "smart growth" mechanism in urban expansion; the other is guiding the "New Countryside" construction in right way. In the end, this paper concludes that it is very important to develop a series of rigidand obligatory rules for the management of the LOOUC, such as, implement, monitoring and performance evaluating mechanism, and so on.
Lastly, this paper introduces a planning case in Cangdong area, Nanjing, in order to expatiate all above theoretical thinking. It summarizes the strategic meaning and actuality of Cangdong area first, and then introduces the main contents of the planning for this LOOUC. In the end, this paper emphasizes that the difficulty to plan and manage the LOOUC is not the concrete planning techniques, but the reforming of managing conception, developing idea and some correlation mechanism in deed.
