Abstract

There are lots of contradictions, conflicts and overlaps among China’s diverse plans. One of the most noticed topics is how to get a coordination among so many types of plans, including the “multiple-plan coordination” from theory to practice. National economic and social development planning, overall urban planning, land use planning and ecological and environment protection planning mainly consist of the national spatial planning in China. At first, the paper has a review to the knowledge of national spatial planning domestic and overseas. Then, from the perspective of resource allocation, different types of planning on the same national spatial area cause the conflicts, and the pattern of control and development planning is the reason. Thirdly, based on the literature review, this paper gives theory ideas of national land spatial development, development planning should guide the space development, and control planning is given priority to control and forbidding, however, there should have the flexibility area between those two kinds of planning, where competition is the main means of deciding the land use of the region.
