Abstract:
In the context of the pilot construction of the ‘five-excellence' industrial park in Hunan Province, this study takes G High-Tech Industrial Development Zone as an example. It evaluates the level of intensive land use in the park through the construction of a systematic evaluation method and reflects on the structural contradictions and optimization paths in the current construction of industrial parks. Research has found that although the comprehensive intensity of the park has reached a high intensity, there is a significant imbalance between the average tax revenue per unit of industrial land and the industrial land utilization rate, exposing the extensive model of ‘high land occupation but low economic output', which is rooted in the low industrial level and distorted factor allocation. The potential calculation shows that the expansion potential dominates, while the structural potential and intensity potential are almost zero, reflecting the excessive dependence of administrative policies on incremental supply and the lack of stock optimization mechanisms. Analysis shows that these issues are essentially a conflict between the logic of spatial production and the demand for high-quality development, manifested as rigid constraints on industrial dynamics in planning, single institutional tools that inhibit subject collaboration, and a disconnect between evaluation systems and digital and low-carbon goals. Finally, based on the integration framework of spatial production theory and smart growth theory, suggestions are proposed to enhance spatial governance efficiency through industrial chainbased land supply and dynamic performance supervision, promote institutional innovation through industrial land carbon budgeting and diversified governance platforms, and empower digital transformation through industrial maps and mixed land use models.
