As industrialization and urbanization surge ahead, Ningbo has approached the limit for land development in recent years. On the other hand, the city is plagued by imbalanced use of land, evidenced by disorderly distribution of land, inefficient land use and failure to put existing land into good use. What’s more, many invaluable land resources are occupied by zombie businesses, thereby hampering economic development. A circular, issued by Ningbo Land Resources, is designed to make good use of unused land for the first time. The document comes at a time when China is aggressively pushing for the supply-side reform, advancing low-carbon life, production and urban management. The implementation of the document also works to enable wider construction spaces, upgrade land use structure and resources allocation, and raise the quality and performance of the economy.
