Economics Analysis Of China's Urban Sprawl And Countermeasure Research

After the reform and opening up to the outside world, the process of urbanization in our country is speeded up. During the period of rapid urbanization,there are some'unhealthy'patterns of urban spatial expansion,such as outward,extensive and road-led expansion.These perhaps will lead to urban sprawl,which many western developed cities have been suffered from before. urban sprawl become a major issue of the 20th century Western countries in the process of urban development. The main performance of the spread of cities: the urban population density decline, a waste of land resources, increase the per capita cost of services, farmland and wetlands decrease, as well as traffic congestion and environmental pollution.The theory and method of urban sprawl gradual development in the west since the 1960s, but it did still not receive the attention of domestic scholars.First,the systematic elaboration of urban sprawl and its contradictory,smart growth policy,which are research focus overseas,is analyzed in this paper. The paper reviews the previous attempts to define and measure urban sprawl , studies measuring sprawl and relating it outcomes , studies measuring sprawl and exploring causes , studies on urban form and studies on smart growth management.Based on introducing the background of urban sprawl in WesternCountries , the paperr analyz the evolution of the means of curbing urban sprawl in Western Countries systematically.then, Through the use of comparative and comprehensive analysis ,the paper compares the Characteristics of the urban spawl between the China's cities and Western cities,and makes a analysis of the similarity and the difference between the two .On this basis, the paper integrated use of the new institutional economics and Neo-classical methods of urban economics.revealed the internal mechanism of urbanization of china urban.China's urban sprawl will be research against the background of the China's economic restructuring is the innovation of this paper, this may reveal the institutional factors that hidden behind the system.to solove the issues such as externalities and regulatory system failures that causes urban sprawl, the paper also made corresponding countermeasures, including the congestion charge fees to control the demond of people, taxes for the impact on the development,and to determin the right of development, to control the land supply , the paper give out the suggestion of unifying the land market in urban and rural areas. Streamline the planning structure, to establish a bottom-up land-use self-restraint mechanism and improve the supervision system. This paper expounded urban sprawl and smart growth in America. Then it integrated all kinds of opinions at home and abroad on smart growth used in China.It pointed out that we should pay attention to several points before using smart growth for reference and gave some suggestions.
