China's land-reuse update Progress and planned support

Date unknown

CCTV reports 2026 local efforts to reuse idle land and small urban spaces. A renovated Xiamen industrial park combines recreation, retail and youth apartments. The account describes flexible positive-list uses, simplified or waived approvals for small livelihood projects, and recent Guangzhou incentives for conserving and using historic buildings. It cites the Natural Resources Ministry's latest cumulative figure of more than two million mu of low-efficiency land redeveloped nationwide as of the update, without a stated measurement-period start. During the Fifteenth Five-Year Plan, authorities plan further land-premium, transitional-use and short-term-use rules to ease investment and support public services. Ma Mei says the ministry will guide redevelopment pilots, refine category-specific pathways and tailor planning and land-use incentives. Plans remain intentions; the original data-release date is not supplied.
