The Impact of Land Intensive Use on Urban Development Quality in Mountain City: A Case Study of Chongqing, China
Publication: ICCREM 2019: Innovative Construction Project Management and Construction Industrialization
ABSTRACT
The contradiction between the construction land shortage and the urban development of the mountain city determines the inevitability of land intensive use (LIU). As a typical mountain city, the rational use of land in Chongqing is of typical significance for the coordination of land utilization and urban development in other mountainous cities. This paper employed Chongqing's land use and urban development data from 1998 to 2016, adopted econometric models to study the impact of LIU on Chongqing’s development quality. The results showed that: (1) the LIU level and urban development quality (UDQ) in Chongqing have been improved since 1998, and the growth rate of UDQ is 8.93 times that of LIU; (2) the impact of LIU on the UDQ is negative in the short term, while the long-term increase in LIU of 1% will promote the quality of urban development by 1.54%; (3) 55.80% of the variance in UDQ is explained by LIU, exceeding its own impact. Therefore, the government should pay attention to the role of LIU in the development of mountainous cities, adopt long-term strategies, fully exploit the potentialities of stock land, and protect natural landscapes of mountain cities.
