Major Regional Development Strategies and National Land Spatial Coordination:Evidence from Strategy for BTH Coordinated Development
Through the analysis of micro-level land transaction and commercial enterprise data,we examine the im-pact of the Coordinated Development of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Region strategy on national land spatial coordination from both supply and demand perspectives.We find that Beijing leads national land spatial coordination from both ends of supply and demand;Hebei and Beijing have strong complementarities,but the shortcomings in development of the former have caused a blockage in coordination;Tianjin is"dislocated"for its role,with the limited driving force for coordination.On the supply side,the three regions promote spatial coordination by laying out public service land in the bor-der areas,but there is a tendency to transfer high-tech industry land to the interior.On the demand side,coordination strategies have suppressed off-site land purchasing while promoting border area land purchasing.In the coordination process,state—owned enterprises prove pivotal in promoting spatial coordination,but there is still room for the market forces to play a bigger role.We conclude that we should drive regional development by facilitating national land spatial coordina-tion and giving play to the roles of both the government and the market,based on Major Regional Development Strategies and accurate function orientation.
