Refiguring the Rural: Eco-urbanization in Yixing City

Abstract

sity of land use in Yixing is very high and ecological environmental protection is already extremely urgent. ... The optimization of land use structure requires the closure and relocation of Taihu shoreline towns and a considerable number of enterprises and villages, which will transform farmers’ traditional cultivation customs. This will be done. — Yixing Bureau of Land and Resources, Yixing Land Use Master Plan (2006– 2020)
