Case library · Unofficial English translation · Glossary
Twenty-nine case studies from the 2026 national collection on revitalizing existing and inefficiently used land — from aerospace parks on old textile sites to a soy sauce brewery that bought out its neighbours. Each case is translated in full, with its location, key figures and the land and planning tools it used.
Geographic spread
Province-level administrative boundaries come from the site's local China boundary dataset; points show the case cities.
Points mark the city of each case, not the exact site. The boundary geometry is loaded locally; no third-party basemap tiles are used.

西安市未央区团结片区城市更新
A 13-square-kilometre area of northern Xi'an with fragmented tenure — approved-but-unsupplied land, land awaiting recovery and urban-village plots — was renewed under a city-funded, district-implemented joint land reserve. A railway park was opened up to surrounding streets, and TOD development was planned around metro stations.
常州市金坛区乡村产业“串珠成链”
A long, narrow crab-farming town with scattered small plots outside the urban development boundary revived about 500 mu of old village-enterprise land through 16 projects. Five industrial nodes along roads and rivers link processing, cold chain and logistics to the crab ponds; some collective land was contributed as equity, giving villages a share of rents.
