Abstract:

The purpose of this study is to analyze the background, characteristics, current situation and reform direction of the application of Dutch public land development model in industrial land development, to compare with China’s industrial land development, and to explore the enlightenment to the market-oriented reform of China’s industrial land policies. By literature analysis and comparative analysis, the study finds that the public land development model in Dutch industrial land development has played an active role in history; current reforms focus on the direction of industrial land revitalization, sustainable land development, and high quality of industrial properties and sites. The common characteristic between China and the Netherlands is that local government dominates the supply of industrial land; the difference is that the land price of industrial land in China is much lower than the cost, and the cost recovery cannot be realized. The study concludes that the directionsof industrial land policy reform in China should change the pricing method, promote the diversification and improve the quality of industrial properties, and link the supply of greenfield industrial land with the stock of industrial land.
