June 25, 2021 is the 31st National Land Day.
On the occasion of the National Land Day, on June 22, news (www.thepaper.cn) from the Shanghai Municipal Planning and Natural Resources Bureau’s “Strengthening the Protection of Cultivated Land “Building a New Pattern for High-quality Development of Land and Space Development and Protection” was informed at the seminar that Shanghai has completed a total of 73.8 square kilometers of low-efficiency construction land after two rounds of three-year reduction actions and used it for agricultural production or ecological construction. At the same time, a total of 36.4 square kilometers of arable land has been added.
Reduce the amount of land used to save and intensively use
As a super-large city, Shanghai faces “tight constraints” on population, resources, and the environment. In order to effectively maintain the bottom line of construction land and break the bottleneck of land use, Shanghai has established a basic land use strategy of “total lock-in, declining increment, inventory optimization, flow efficiency, and quality improvement” since 2013, and was the first to be implemented in the country in 2014 Negative growth in the scale of planned construction land, and vigorously promote the reduction of inefficient construction land outside the planned urban development boundary.
Since 2015, Shanghai has gone through two rounds of three-year action plans (2015-2017, 2018-2020). The current construction land (especially 198 industrial land) that conforms to the plan and has poor social, economic and ecological benefits plays an important role in effectively transforming land use methods, promoting the conservation and intensive use of land resources, and maintaining the total scale of construction land.
According to the data released by the Shanghai Municipal Planning and Natural Resources Bureau, through two rounds of three-year reduction actions in 2015-2017 and 2018-2020, Shanghai has completed cumulatively The inefficient construction land was reduced by 73.8 square kilometers.
Su Bin, deputy director of the Land Use Implementation Division of the Shanghai Municipal Planning and Natural Resources Bureau, mentioned at the seminar that in the past, various construction projects mainly used net increase construction. Land use, but this development model of extensional expansion is not sustainable. On the premise of maintaining the total land supply and guaranteeing development and construction needs, Shanghai has effectively controlled the excessive growth of construction land and kept the bottom line of construction land by implementing reductions.
Data shows that in 2015, Shanghai’s net increase in construction land accounted for about 90% of the total annual land use, and by 2020, the net increase in construction land accounted for less than 40%. The rest of the land comes fromThe quantified construction land flow index has realized a fundamental change in land use patterns and forced the transformation of urban construction methods to connotative development.
Reduce to promote high-quality use of land resources
What does “reduce” reduce?
Shanghai implemented a reduction in low-efficiency construction land, mainly to accelerate the withdrawal of low-end processing industry, aquaculture and storage yards and other “three highs and one low” industries And transformation, and provide sufficient development space for emerging industries, high-tech industries, etc. through the “vacation of cages for birds”.
According to statistics, Shanghai’s reduction and vacated land use indicators are used for about 48% of municipal and people’s livelihood projects, about 29% for business projects, and about 29% for industrial projects. About 23%.
According to reports, Shanghai has promoted the high-quality utilization of land resources by focusing on the reclamation of inefficient industrial and mining storage land outside the development boundary and the centralized consolidation of idle scattered homesteads. On the one hand, the spatial layout of urban and rural areas has been optimized. On the other hand, land resources have exerted more and better economic and social values.
Take Jinshan District, Shanghai as an example, Langxia Town, Jinshan District is the first pilot project of cross-village homestead translation and merging in Shanghai. It is reported that about half of the original homesteads are scattered in 10,000 mu of grain fields. Such a scattered residential form is not only not conducive to the intensive and economical use of rural collective construction land, but also affects the large-scale operation of 10,000 mu of grain fields in Langxia. Its overall style.
In this regard, Langxia Town, Jinshan District has been scattered and combined to free up space and save intensive land. Through scientific planning and rational design of resettlement housing types, the average household land occupation for resettlement of the characteristic residential homes in Langxia Town, Jinshan District is controlled at 0.39 mu. The saved land space can be used for farmland protection, land space greening, and rural industry development. The municipal-level land improvement project in Langxia Township, Jinshan has implemented homestead land reclamation of approximately 356 acres, resulting in more than 870 acres of new cultivated land. In addition to returning 130 mu of turnover indicators and deducting 215 mu of resettlement houses, there is still land space and space surplus.
Reduce the pressure to protect the cultivated land
The cultivated land is directly related to the issue of food security. Promote reduction, strengthen the conservation and intensive use of land, and reduce the demand for cultivated land occupied by new construction, It also effectively alleviated the pressure on the protection of cultivated land in Shanghai.
It is reported that through two rounds of reductions for three years, the city of Shanghai has accumulated 36.4 square kilometers of arable land. On the one hand, new cultivated land area has been generated, which supports the implementation of Shanghai’s cultivated land protection tasks; on the other hand, the cultivated land occupancy and compensation balance index has been produced, which forms an effective guarantee for the implementation of new projects.
At the same time, in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Soil Pollution Prevention and Control Law, Shanghai’s reduced-quantity plots fully implement soil testing, and the specific use and purpose are specified based on the testing results. Zenong, keep the bottom line of safe use. After reducing the amount of inefficient construction land, the layout of the land structure has been optimized, the utilization of fields has been significantly improved, and the accessibility of roads has increased, which is conducive to the development of modern agriculture and promotes large-scale production.
