Abstract: Against the background of the dual urgency of stock space optimization and transformationoriented development, township industrial land within cities is characterized by a large quantity and wide distribution, which stands in sharp contrast to the strong demand for its transformation and upgrading. Taking Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province as an example, this study focuses on township industrial land and quantitatively analyzes its growth route deduction from 2010 to 2020 using methods including buffer zone analysis, kernel density estimation, standard deviational ellipse, expansion intensity analysis, and shared boundary analysis. The results verify the unique spatial evolution pattern of township industrial land that differs from large-scale urban industrial parks.Township industrial land generally presents a spatial pattern of 'large-scale dispersion and small-scale agglomeration': concentrated in the central city and scattered in peripheral districts and counties. Low-grade roads exert a stronger influence on its layout than high-grade roads. Its intra-city expansion intensity shows high, medium, low, and even negative growth, with leapfrogging and sprawl as the dominant expansion modes, accompanied by a small amount of infilling development and a certain proportion of contraction.This study proposes targeted planning strategies for three typical types of township industrial land: central-type, cluster-type, and suburban-type. The strategies emphasize pioneering exploration, steady upgrading, and orderly follow-up respectively, focusing on the construction of production and living supporting facilities, their coordinated development and symbiosis with industrial growth, the improvement of living service functions, and effective responses to the diverse living service demands of employees. The conclusions can provide a reference for the efficient development and utilization of township industrial land.
