Paojiang, Shaoxing Binhai New Area, Shaoxing, Zhejiang · 6,988 mu · 465.9 ha
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.

Gongshu District, Hangzhou, Zhejiang · 547 mu · 36.5 ha
杭州市杭钢半山基地转型发展
After its steel lines closed in 2016, Hangzhou Iron & Steel Group redeveloped 547 mu of its retained land into a computing and data-centre cluster. Fragmented allocated and leased parcels were re-plotted and transferred back to the group by agreement under new planning conditions, ending what the case calls an "institutional freeze" on the land.

黄石市“工友茶馆+幸福食堂”功能提升
An empty steelworks-company warehouse beside an old workers' housing estate was turned into a retro teahouse and subsidized community canteen for older residents. Using a five-year transition policy that keeps the original owner and land use unchanged, the subdistrict office avoided any transfer of title and paid for the hard renovation, while an operator fitted it out and runs it.
Jing'an District, Shanghai · 31 mu · 2.07 ha
上海市江场西路申林木业城市更新
Two state-owned groups — the land's owner Bailian and the Shibei industrial-park company — formed a joint venture to redevelop an old timber-yard site. The land was taken into the reserve, rezoned for R&D at a floor area ratio of 3.5 and won back by the joint venture as Jing'an District's first "standard land" sale, with a contractual tax target of CNY 165 million a year.

淮南市毕家岗矿区业态重塑
A coal mine closed in 2003 and ecologically restored in 2016 still sat idle because of overlapping tenure and an outdated mining land use. The district government recovered the land from the mining group, rezoned it, bundled factory land with utilities in a single supply package, and offers standard factories on a "lease first, transfer later" basis.

长春市水文化生态园一体化改造
Changchun's first waterworks (1932), closed in 2015, had become an informal public park but its land was still zoned industrial. The city took it into the reserve, allocated 25.95 ha back to the owner as parkland, and sold 3.33 ha of commercial and parking land as a bundle together with tourism and parking operating rights — a "combined supply" of land and concessions.
Gusu District, Suzhou, Jiangsu · 61.5 mu · 4.1 ha
苏州市第一丝厂自主更新以用促保
China's oldest silk-reeling mill, on the moat at the southern gate of Suzhou's old city, was redeveloped by its own company as a culture, retail and hotel quarter for its 2026 centenary. Land use changed from industrial to commercial; the land premium of nearly CNY 70 million was assessed net of the high cost of building a basement car park around protected trees and heritage buildings.
Binhai New Area, Tianjin · 1,545 mu · 103 ha
天津市国际农产品交易中心转型升级
Half-empty warehouse land in Tianjin's port area was rezoned for a wholesale agricultural market. Because national logistics policy lets wholesale-market land be valued at industrial rates, no land premium was payable on the change of use — saving the operator nearly CNY 600 million — and the remaining lease term carried over to 2061.

南京市金陵长乐坊城市更新
A former knitwear factory turned Walmart, vacant since 2020 and next to the Confucius Temple area, had mixed allocated and sold land and 29,000 m² of unpermitted buildings. After penalties were imposed, the buildings were regularized, the owner paid CNY 233 million to convert allocated industrial land to commercial use, and the complex reopened as a culture-and-retail destination.
