How Chinese cities are reusing
inefficient land

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.

Upgrading Old Furniture Industry Clusters in Nankang District, Ganzhou

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
