自然资源部一位高级官员周一表示，中国将优化国土空间规划以促进可持续发展。
A
unified4 planning system for national
territorial5 space will be set up before 2020, integrating the plans for main
functional6 zones, land use, and urban and rural development, said Zhao Long,
vice7 minister of MNR, at a press conference held at the State Council Information Office.
In the past, there were many types of spatial planning. However, there was not enough
coordination8 between various plans, Zhao said, noting that efforts will be made to reinforce the coordination to make
systematic9 and more scientific spatial planning.
China will construct an information platform for territorial space by integrating the latest data of the natural resources survey and applying advanced information technology.
Zhao said China's spatial planning of national land use would stick to a people-centered approach and promote high-quality development. Besides
optimizing10 the layout of
ecological11, agricultural and urban spaces, the spatial planning will pay attention to ecological protection and regional characteristics.
