Abstract: In the initial period of industrialization a great deal of land is needed for Chinese industrial development, land resource per capita of China is much lower than the average value in the world, thus it is absolutely necessary to save land in Chinese urban construction. This paper mainly discusseds the features of urban land use in medium sized and small cities: one is that the index of urban land per capita is higher than large cities; another is that urban land has not been used highly and strongly; the third is that the industrial land occupieds an irrationally large percentage of whole urban land; the fourth is that little town enterprises took up a quantity of land. Thereafter, this paper puts forward five land saving measures: the first is, to adopt the idea of saving land; the second is to regulate the structure of urban land use; the third is to develop land comprehensively; the fourth is to improve rules and regulation of using land by payment; and the last is to enhance urban land use planning.
