The international comparison of national spatial land use regulations holds significant theoretical and practical importance for sustainable development. The formation of national spatial land use structures is closely related to the demand for natural resources and the allocation and management of land under different socio-economic activities. Land use regulations aim to address conflicts in land use caused by various economic activities, including the spatial demand conflicts arising from such activities and the challenges posed by public fiscal requirements. To achieve a smart and sustainable national spatial land use structure, it is essential to utilize public instruments, including the formulation and implementation of laws, planning, and policies. Through international comparative perspectives, this book systematically examines land use zoning systems, regulatory policies, and implementation practices across selected countries and regions. By identifying similarities and differences in national land use regulation systems, the book provides valuable theoretical insights and practical references for improving spatial governance and optimizing national spatial land use regulatory frameworks.
