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.
Area-wide renewal of an ageing development zone or industrial park.

无锡市扬名空天产业园产业升级
A 3,735-mu traditional industrial cluster in central Wuxi was consolidated by the district government and rebuilt by a state-owned platform as an "industrial community" for commercial aerospace. Multi-storey "skyscraper factories" raised the park-wide floor area ratio from under 0.8 to over 2.5, while tax revenue per mu tripled.
Park-wide floor area ratio below 0.8 → above 2.5
绍兴市“绍芯谷”城市更新
Shaoxing relocated dozens of dyeing and chemical plants across county boundaries to dedicated industrial zones, then redeveloped the vacated 6,988-mu Mahai area as "Shaoxin Valley" for semiconductor-related industries. A menu of "four categories, ten methods" let each landowner choose self-redevelopment, joint development, buy-out or exit instead of blanket government acquisition.
Average floor area ratio after self-redevelopment below 1.0 → above 2.0
福州市福兴经济开发区提质增效
A 30-year-old development zone in central Fuzhou, 80% built out, revitalized 1,100 mu of inefficient land without new construction-land quotas. Tools included a parcel-by-parcel data base, property-for-property swaps for expropriated warehouse owners, tiered 20–50-year industrial land leases and a much faster approval process.
Industrial output per mu 3.67 → 4.73 CNY million
赣州市南康区老旧家具产业集聚区集约提质
Three self-built furniture workshop clusters of tin sheds on 5–10-mu plots were re-plotted from 66 scattered holdings into 60 regular parcels. A transparent "land-share ratio" formula gave each firm net land in proportion to what it originally occupied, after deducting roads and fire lanes, so that firms could rebuild multi-storey factories themselves.
Average floor area ratio 0.5 → 2.0
