Baotou Urban Construction Land Expansion and Optimization Strategy Research

In Baotou, along with the rapid economic development in the recent 10 years, the construction speed of the City is getting more and more quickly, and the urban land scale is expanding rapidly. At the same time, the restrictions derived from the land resources are also getting stronger and stronger, which results in the even more obvious contradiction between the differentiated requirements from the urban development and proper land usage. The paper analyzes the scale of Baotou urban construction land expansion and the transformation rules of land-using structure in the recent 10 years, and makes conclusions upon the characteristics of urban land expansion. The paper aims to present an optimization strategy of proper urban construction land expansion.
