The land bears hopes and dreams, witnesses the changes of history, and nourishes the growth of all things. On June 25 this year, the 34th National Land Day was ushered in, which is a significant day for resource planners. "As the guardian of natural resources, we must be responsible for protecting the land, have a mind of 'the biggest man in the country', firmly guard the 'lifeline' of cultivated land protection, strictly observe the ecological protection red line, scientifically determine the total amount of urban construction land, and seek long-term development for future generations," said the main person in charge of the Municipal Resources Planning Bureau.
In the past five years, Suzhou has adhered to the strictest farmland protection and land conservation system, continued to deepen farmland protection, and firmly held the red line of farmland and permanent basic farmland protection; We have steadily promoted the conservation and intensive use of resources, revitalizing about 260000 mu of land in stock. We have been awarded the "Model City for Conservation and Intensive Use of Natural Resources in Jiangsu Province" for three times. Last January, Zhangjiagang was also recognized as one of the first batch of demonstration counties (cities) for conservation and intensive use of natural resources in China; The level of land management, protection and rational use in the city has been continuously improved, and the practices related to cultivated land protection and intensive land use have been frequently commended throughout the country and Jiangsu Province.
A bumper year in the fragrance of rice flowers: protect the fertile soil and ensure the safety of the world
All things are born in the soil, and there is Tusi and grain. In summer, the "3D Rice Field Art Painting", which covers an area of nearly 200 mu in Zhangpu Town, Kunshan, is approaching its best viewing period. Every year, many tourists come here to "punch in". This spectacular farmland is also a vivid picture of farmland protection.
"It is estimated that the city will achieve no less than 20000 mu of new cultivated land this year, and will continue to maintain the continuous and stable increase of cultivated land." The head of the Land Conservation Department of the Municipal Resources Planning Bureau told reporters that around the protection task of 1937700 mu of cultivated land and 1728000 mu of permanent basic farmland designated by this round of "three districts and three lines", Suzhou has achieved a continuous net inflow of cultivated land in the past three years, and the foundation of food security has continued to be consolidated.
In recent years, Suzhou has further strengthened planning and control constraints, optimized the spatial layout of cultivated land, and strictly prohibited arbitrary changes in use. It is reported that Suzhou requires "occupy one to supplement one, occupy the best to supplement one, occupy paddy fields to supplement paddy fields", and insists on "first come out later", and implement the conversion of cultivated land use only after renovating and restoring a considerable amount and quality of cultivated land. The supplementary cultivated land is of the same quantity and quality, which can be used stably for a long time.
In addition, Suzhou is carrying out the preparation of special plan for cultivated land protection, which will lead to the construction of the city's cultivated land protection work system, and reasonably and orderly optimize the spatial layout of cultivated land; Take the lead in developing the "i Su Geng" cultivated land protection ID card system in the province, and plan to open it to the whole public. The public can learn from cultivated land policy at any time, check cultivated land information at any time, measure cultivated land area at any time, and shoot new cultivated land at any time, so as to form a good atmosphere for everyone to supervise and participate in cultivated land protection.
"Everyone is a defender of the land, and wisdom 'eyes' are everywhere". In terms of farmland protection, law enforcement and supervision, Suzhou has combined high-tech means such as artificial intelligence and deep learning to achieve "early detection, early suppression and strict investigation" of illegal occupation of farmland. It is reported that Suzhou has selected Zhangjiagang and Taicang as the pilot areas to carry out the construction of the "real-time supervision system" intelligent supervision platform. Through intelligent identification and big data analysis, automatic discrimination and automatic early warning are carried out to achieve intelligent real-time supervision of permanent basic farmland and cultivated land.
Opening Old Bottles and Filling New Wine: Resources for Awakening "Sleeping"
Sleeping resources are "awakened", and inefficient land use can "generate money". In April this year, the implementation plan for the pilot work of inefficient land redevelopment in Suzhou was officially implemented, providing diversified policy support for in-depth promotion of inefficient land redevelopment. According to the relevant person in charge of the Municipal Resources Planning Bureau, compared with 43 pilot cities across the country, Suzhou is not only an industrial city, but also one of the first batch of national historical and cultural cities. The total amount of industrial land is large, and there are many ancient cities, towns and historical and cultural areas. Therefore, the focus is on three types of inefficient land: industrial quality and efficiency improvement, residential environment improvement, and ancient city protection and renewal. At present, the policy "dividend" is bearing fruit. Since this year, 17000 mu of inefficient land has been redeveloped and more than 3000 mu of idle land has been disposed.
"Red Ant Group will transform and upgrade the original old factory buildings, realize the activation and utilization of housing resources while maintaining some of the historical features, and establish a new landmark of home culture with profound knowledge and new life at the east gate of Gusu." The person in charge of Red Ant Group introduced that behind the smooth progress of this project, there is no lack of support from the pilot policy of inefficient land redevelopment. It is understood that Red Ant Group, after dismantling the original building, will be transformed into Red Ant Technology Home Cultural Innovation Park. The nature of the land will be changed from industrial land to science and education (cultural and creative) land. According to the new pilot policy, the policy of land price compensation will be preferential, which will reasonably reduce the cost of enterprise land.
Modern urban development needs more and more "development flow" from "stock land" and "development quality" from "inefficient land use". In Suzhou, the development and utilization of stock land and inefficient land have constantly explored new paths and practice one innovation model after another.
Kunshan, the "coffee capital", has written a wonderful story of "a coffee bean" under the guidance of industrial planning and industrial land security line. According to the person in charge of the Utilization Department of the Municipal Resource Planning Bureau, Kunshan "squeezed" out a project of storage and distribution center for raw coffee beans by merging similar projects. By the end of 2022, the development intensity of Kunshan Development Zone has reached 74%, and the industrial land is highly dependent on the stock to tap the potential. Therefore, in view of the production demand of the project, the relevant departments locked in a total of 48.54 mu of "unused" inefficient land at the junction of the two enterprises, and magnified the utilization benefits of "1+1>2" by renewing the stock. Behind the industrial space "addition and subtraction method" of land transfer, the relationship is complicated and the process is numerous. Under the mode of "surplus land division and transfer+state-owned asset repurchase+consolidated parcel", the project successfully promoted the inefficient land grafting transfer of the two enterprises to Kunshan Comprehensive Bonded Zone Investment Development Co., Ltd. to realize the "warehousing" of land again. At the beginning of this year, the project was also selected as one of the top ten advanced typical cases of land saving mode (technology) in Jiangsu Province in 2024.
Craftsmanship and ingenuity: comprehensive management and efficient progress
One action makes a full plate alive. It is difficult to systematically solve the problem of land space utilization by the traditional single governance means of "treating headache and foot pain". The comprehensive governance concept of overall coordination is a new requirement of land space governance. The pilot project of comprehensive land consolidation has opened a way for Suzhou to leap forward and break through. Suzhou not only has the construction of pilot projects in Huangqiao Street, Xiangcheng District, Leyu Town, Zhangjiagang City, and Zhangpu Town, Kunshan City, but also comprehensively launched the province's first county pilot for comprehensive land consolidation in Wujiang District, promoting efficient resource allocation and activating new momentum for land use.
According to the data, in the first comprehensive land improvement pilot project in Huangqiao Street filed by the Ministry of Natural Resources, fragmented agricultural land and industrial land were re integrated, among which agricultural land gradually became centralized and connected, with 205 mu of new cultivated land; 6000 mu of industrial land originally scattered has been integrated into 3500 mu of pure industrial land. The comprehensive efficiency of cultivated land protection and economical and intensive land use is prominent, drawing a contrast map of the past and the present with significant differences.
From "inefficient land" to "high-yield land", from development difficulties to reform dividends, Suzhou's dialectics in land use are vividly reflected: breaking and establishing, giving up and obtaining, keeping and innovating, and the unity of the whole and the part.
"Suzhou will continue to play a good combination of land and space management." The relevant person in charge of the Municipal Resources Planning Bureau said that at present, it is still comprehensively combing the inflow potential of cultivated land in Suzhou, and integrating all elements of "mountains, rivers, forests, fields, lakes, grass and sand"; Actively strive for the pilot reform of land management system, and focus on enhancing the ability of land elements to guarantee high-quality development in advantageous areas. Suzhou is constantly breaking the rules and regulations that restrict high-quality development, exploring new ideas, new paths and new methods, planting and cultivating the first opportunity, creating new development soil, "plowing" out of efficient fields, "vacating" out of new space, and constantly creating new ways to optimize urban development space.
