Urban Fringe Development Planning Strategies

Since the reform and opening up, some big cities in China, just as in many developing countries, due to urban convergence of industry, jobs, services, facilities, growingly attract resources on the surrounding area, the fringe areas become the main areas of urban development, diffusion and spread. Metropolitan fringe areas are transitive areas located between urban areas and rural regions and profoundly impacted by the city. These areas have cooperative advantages of urban ecological economic system and rural ecological economic system, and possess great development potential. Due to dynamic and uncertain characteristics of the urban fringe, its limits in urban planning are much weaker than that of urban centers. Many cities'urban fringe areas have being developing in unmeditated mode, so there emerged many problems to be solved.This paper first reviews the existing research results of current urban fringe areas, and makes a simple exposition on research focus of the existing theories and schools. this study comb and discriminate the concepts of "Urban and Rural junction area", "Urban and Rural interlacing area", "Urban transitive area", "Urban fringe region", "Urban fringe space", "Suburban," "Urban fringe area" and so on from the etymology, and proposed the core concept of this study, "Urban fringe area".From the analysis of the characteristics of the constituent elements, study their constitution and function in the urban fringe. Industrial Zone, Economic and Technical Development Zone, residence district, scientific cultural and educational area, transportation site and logistics, warehouse district, municipal utilities and infrastructure site are the main constituent elements of fringe development. Adhere to people-centered scientific development concept, seek effective ways and targeted strategy, and reduce disorder period, to achieve orderly and coordinated development of urban fringe areas. Scientific and rational development strategy and planning, and accurate function and industry position-sitting, is the long-term and overall measures to protect the orderly and coordinated development of urban fringes. To break the urban-rural dual system, innovative land system, the household registration system and social security system, strengthen policy support and legal construction, infrastructure construction in urban fringe system; adhere to the regional overall concept of merging city and natural environment; changes the rural residents to urban residents, establish an integrated management system; establish the traffic system adapting urban fringe areas; speed up innovation of the social security system can eliminate or reduce external threats of urban fringe and orderly and coordinative development from the roots, ensure orderly and coordinative development of urban fringe areas.By analyzing the current status of fringe area of Jinan, propose to make scientific development planning of Jinan, clarify the position-sitting of urban fringe; strengthen land management system; speed up improvement of transport facilities between the city and suburban, build three-dimensional transport framework; adhere to the regional overall concept of merging city and natural environment of Jinan.
