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.

沈阳市医大附属口腔医院盘活利用
Three vacant office buildings on allocated land in central Shenyang were rezoned for healthcare and sold on the secondary land market — Liaoning's first online public listing with timed bidding for allocated land — to a neighbouring dental hospital, which converted them into a second campus without demolition.
Floor space brought back into use 0 → 19,078 m²
盐城市 8 号新生·数字科技创新园功能重塑
The vacant old campus of Yancheng No. 8 Middle School was rezoned from education to business office use and sold by public listing — with its buildings and a design scheme attached — to the district's urban investment company. A specialist operator turned classrooms into offices and labs and dormitories into talent apartments; 35 digital-technology firms now occupy 95% of the space.
Occupancy 0% → 95%
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.
郑州市亳都新象历史文化街区活化利用
A vacant former college campus inside the protected core of the Shang dynasty capital site was acquired, rezoned for mixed commercial and cultural use, and sold with heritage obligations — height limits, street pattern and a performance bond — written into the land contract. The courtyard-style district opened in 2025 and drew over 500,000 visitors in its first holiday week.
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.
Phase 1 output 1,000 → 2,000 tonnes per year
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.
Floor space under 15,000 → 52,307 m²
长沙市湖南广电“七彩盒子”整合盘活
One TV production campus sat on three plots — allocated land held by the broadcaster and sold land split between the broadcaster and its media group — so it could not be planned, permitted or mortgaged as one. The allocated land was injected into the group as a capital contribution instead of paying a CNY 123 million land premium, and the other plot's owner name was simply changed, unifying all 123 mu under one company.
