| Abstract: | By using digitized land use maps of Beijing in 1982, 1992 and 1997 and employing GIS spatial analysis techniques, this paper
conducts an empirical study on the spatial differentiation and spatial patterns of urban land use growth in Beijing in the
period of 1982–1997. It is observed that urban land use growth in Beijing went beyond the control of urban planning, in terms
of the extraordinary high growth rate and undesired spatial pattern. The rate of urban expansion after 1982, which was predominated
by growth of industrial land, was extraordinary high compared to its historical period. While its growth centers have been
actively shifting toward the northern part, rather than toward the southern and eastern parts as designated by the latest
General Plan (1991–2010) of Beijing, its spatial pattern of urban land use growth in general was in distinct concentric sprawl,
which seriously violated the General Plan of Beijing. |
