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.
Land transferred by negotiation rather than competitive bidding, e.g. small leftover plots to a neighbour.

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.

泸州市先市酱油厂升级焕新
A heritage-listed soy sauce brewery in a Sichuan market town expanded by buying out neighbouring vacant houses and a disused state grain depot, and by acquiring small leftover plots by agreement. Residential and public-service land was rezoned to industrial land with 30% commercial use allowed, linking brewing, a museum, homestays and an old-street tourism district.

拉萨市龙腾大厦有机更新
Two run-down plots with incomplete land records — allocated government land and an old start-up centre of unclear title — were merged, rezoned commercial and transferred to a district-owned company together with the buildings on them. A minimum investment of CNY 250 million was written into the land contract; the new mixed office, retail and talent-housing complex opened in 2024.
