Project Background
In view of the current characteristics of Jiangsu Province, such as large population and small land, high population density, resource shortage, small size of cities and towns, and decentralized layout, break through the traditional small based development model, and clearly put forward the development direction and strategy of urbanization and urban spatial layout of the province in a large-scale and intensive way. Firmly guide the optimization and adjustment of the layout of towns and villages in the province, especially the layout of towns and villages, require towns to reasonably gather in the "three circles and five axes", select the best to cultivate key central towns, make it clear that the total number of towns and villages in the province will be reduced to about 650 by 2020 by the end of the planning period, from about 2000 in the planning reference year, through the scientific and stable merger of towns and villages. The spatial layout structure and adjustment objectives determined by the planning are of great practical significance for the rational agglomeration and intensive development of cities and towns, the protection of ecological environment, and the optimal allocation of resources.
Project idea
The quantitative analysis of population and urbanization is comprehensive and in-depth. It adopts the urban quantity statistics method, the complementary method of different urban population statistics, the analysis method of population distribution of newly added cities and towns, the vertical and horizontal comparison method of urban population size in historical stages, the comprehensive analysis method of urban development at different scales and levels, the analysis method of spatio-temporal changes of urbanization level, and the tracking analysis method of typical cities and towns.
