Abstract:During the “Eleventh Five-Year” period, the Yangtze River Delta region has witnessed a significant increase in its GDP. However, the arable land is decreasing day by day. The fundamental reason lies in the extensive exploration and utilization of land resource. To prevent the continued deterioration of the shortage of land resources in the Yangtze River Delta, we must significantly enhance the intensity use of the land. Main countermeasures include further improvement and deepening of the rural “three centralized” model, revitalizing the stock construction land, fastening the development and utilization of land, strengthening the supervision after the approval of land, economizing the use of temporarily idle land, actively promoting land reclamation, making full use of the land replacement policy, constructing the examine system of land use and so on.
