《五年计划\/规划中空间要素演变与实施：从项目布局到空间规划（英文版）》研究内容 ：In general， economic growth was the ultimately concerned governance issue in Chinese provinces and municipalities， which justifies local politics of spatial planning.

This study advances the current understanding about the rationale and mechanisms about spatial planning and governance in contemporary China.
