The strategies of overall spatial regulation for rural area: based on Shanghai’s experience

Abstract

Under the spatial planning system, the spatial regulation of rural areas faces the basic requirements of "comprehensive coverage of regulation objects, refined regulation measures at each level, and regulation level corresponding to the administrative power". Since the reform and opening up, Shanghai has gradually developed from the "single administrative area" regulation of rural construction spaces to the "comprehensive regulation" of three types of rural spaces. The regulation system consisting of three levels has been formed, including village layout planning, suburb unit planning, and village design. Comprehensive coverage of regulation objects and refined regulation measures at each level have been realized. However, there are also problems such as the weak regulation of the ecological space, the need to improve the level of fine regulation andexcessive restrictions on regulation contents at the town level. Based on the analysis of Shanghai's successful experience and existing problems, the zoning, grading and classification strategy for the spatial regulation in entire rural administrative areas is proposed. Refine the regulation objects based on "spatial zoning-usage unit-plot polygon", define regulation tasks of all levels as per "structural regulation-usage regulation-element regulation"; formulate classified regulation measures according to "transmission of basic element level by level, classified overlying of additional elements".
