Introduction International experience and practices Development of land banking in China Case study in Guangzhou, China Conclusions
• Land banking is a mechanism initiated in western countries with over 100 years of history.
– Amsterdam, the Netherlands, since 1896– Stockholm, Sweden since 1904– Canada since 1950’s– France since 1958– Pilot projects in U.S. since 1970’s
The acquisition of land ahead of development either by construction companies or by central or local government or their agencies. (Evans 2004)
Public or publicly authorized acquisition of land to be held for future use to implement public land policies. (Strong 1979)
Different categories of land banking◦ Land banking by public sector◦ Land banking by private companies
Related terms◦ Land bank◦ Land assembly
Correspondent term in Chinese◦土地儲備 ( tu di chu bei )

For:Various Periods
Status:Temporary UseOr Infra structure Construction
Lease to affordable housingOr Sale to local governmentsOr Sale at market priceOr Sale at subsidized price
Public Sale of LUR at market price
Western Mechanism
Chinese Mechanism
The power and responsibility for implementing land banking mechanism in western countries were usually taken by two types of entities:◦ Special committees ◦ Municipal/county/state owned corporations
The power, source of finance and goals of these entities were strictly defined by local or national legislation. (Zhang and Wang 2003)
Each land banking project in Europe or America usually had an explicit major objective. ◦ Provision of affordable housing: Sweden◦ Control urban growth pattern: Netherlands,
France◦ Control land price: Canada, Australia
Institution framework for implementation of land banking were built to facilitate the achievement of the major objective. (Strong 1979)
As a mechanism of public intervention in the land development process, land banking affects city development in several aspects beyond the initiate major objective.
Flenchner (1974) summarized the effects of land banking practice in western countries as:
Control on urban growth pattern Capturing capital gains for public finance Land price regulation
In central Europe, to solve the problem of fragmentation of agricultural lands.
In Africa, as a way to control social tensions arising from imbalanced distribution of resources, local overpopulation, unemployment and involuntary displacement in the past. (VanDijk & Kopeva 2006)

During the early period of LUR market (in the 1990’s), LUR were traded under a dual-track market: ◦ Co-existence of market supplied land with
administratively allocated land◦ Great difference in LUR prices◦ Existence of an uncontrolled black market
Land value gains were flowing to powerful companies or individuals rather than the government.(Xie 2002)
Guangzhou Land Development Center- established in 1992 to facilitate comprehensive development of new city center via land banking mechanism.
Establishment of Shanghai Land Banking Center in 1996- recognized as the 1st city land banking authority in China in most Chinese literature.

Direct Top- Down promoting forces
◦ Minister of Land and Resources highly praised Hangzhou’s land banking experience at a conference of mayors in 1999. (Zhou, 1999)
◦ In 2001, State Council’s Announcement for strengthening state owned assets management (Document No.15-2001) recommended “cities with suitable conditions” can implement land banking to “strengthen the ability to adjust the land market”.(State Council,2001)
Central Government’s effort to establish a single-track LUR market◦ Announcing LUR to use all kinds of land for business
use (residential, commercial and tourism ) and industrial use must be sold publicly by bidding, auction and public announcement in since 2002 and 2007 respectively. (MLR, 2002,2007)
City governments are becoming economic interest group preoccupied with local growth in the process of decentralization during economic reform in China. (Zhu 2004; Xu and Yeh 2005)
Introduction of different practices. Proposals or solutions for the problems
arousing with the implementation of public land banking.◦ Quantity and location of land for banking◦ Finance◦ Risk management◦ Institutional structure and legislation
What are land banking mechanism’s possible effects on city development in China?
How to define explicit objectives of implementing the land banking mechanism?
The similar mechanism as the western practices may lead to similar effects on:◦ Land price ◦ Revenue of city governments◦ Urban growth pattern
Under the rapid development context of China, land banking may also influence the process of socio-spatial restructuring:◦ Re-distribution of residential areas of different social
classes◦ Speedy urbanization of the former rural areas affected
by land banking◦ Upgrade of industrial sector when industrial land is no
longer free of charge
Guangzhou land development center established in 1992 under the Guangzhou Land and Resource Bureau.
Authorized by the municipal government to implement land resumption, acquisition, land banking, and LUR sales
Source of land bank◦ Resuming state-owned land when the LUR owner
Delays development for an overdue period Or no longer exists
◦ Purchase of urban LUR◦ Acquisition of collectively-owned rural farm land
By the end of 2004, the GZLDC was holding a land bank of 2854.96 hectares.

Area A: 11 ha, Resumed by city land bank, and soon sold by auction at RMB 4.6 billion with 562830 m2 of floor area.
Area B: Hotel development with villagers as share holderArea C: High rise flats to compensate the villagers at 1 for 1 floor area ratio. Both area B and C are built on income from area A. (Picture source: www.upo.cn)
Simplified replication of a mechanism due to scarcity of suitable institutions.
◦ Creating a suitable institutional framework for the newly emerging LUR market in China is difficult. However the replication of the land banking mechanism from other cities are of little cost.
Administration-oriented operation at city government level◦ Administrative document at national level was not
published until Nov 2007.◦ Operation is regulated under administrative
documents published by city governments.
Focusing on land development process rather than the balanced objectives of city development◦ Promoted and implemented by the land
administration system of governments.◦ Income form LUR sales as direct incentive.
