Shenzhen, first city in China to propose basic ecological control line

2005年，深圳在国内首次提出“基本生态控制线”，对生态文明建设开展了有益的探索。

In 2005, Shenzhen proposed the “basic ecological control line” for the first time in China, resulting in a beneficial exploration in enhancing ecological conservation.

实行改革开放后，特区社会经济迅速发展，城市建设用地处于快速扩张的状态，极大压缩了城市生态空间。深圳既要缓解生态资源的压力，又要实现城市的可持续发展。在这一背景下，2005年11月1日，深圳在全国率先划定了“基本生态控制线”，当时，全市一半的土地（974.5平方公里）被划入线内。

After implementing the reform and opening-up policy, Shenzhen has undergone rapid social and economic development. The demand for urban construction land quickly expanded, which greatly reduced the available ecological space. Shenzhen had to relieve the lack of ecological resources and realize the sustainable development of the city at the same time. On November 1, 2005, Shenzhen became the first city in China to set basic ecological control lines, which put half of the city’s land (974.5 square kilometers) within the lines.

《深圳市基本生态控制线管理规定》

Regulations of Shenzhen on the Management of Basic Ecological Control Lines.

基本生态控制线内都包含了哪些土地？基本生态控制线是一个闭合的完整系统，线内土地绝大部分是有关法律、法规中明确规定需要控制建设和生态保护的土地，其余是城市规划中为保持城市组团结构而确定的生态廊道和绿地。

The basic ecological control lines identify a closed and complete system. Most of the land within the lines is the land that needs to be controlled for construction and ecological protection according to relevant laws and regulations, while the rest includes the ecological corridors and green spaces, allowing for the maintaining of the urban group structures in urban planning.

自深圳划定基本生态控制线后，深圳施行了《深圳市基本生态控制线管理规定》，除重大道路交通建设、市政公用建设、旅游设施、公园四种情形外，禁止在基本生态线控制范围内进行建设。这样一来，就有效地防止了城市建设的无序蔓延危及到城市生态系统安全，为深圳保留了大量的绿色生态空间。

Regulations of Shenzhen on the Management of Basic Ecological Control Lines were implemented after the drawing of the basic ecological control lines. With the exception of major roads construction, municipal public construction, tourist facilities and parks, construction within the control lines is prohibited. This ensures that the disorderly spread of urban construction is effectively prevented and a large number of green ecological spaces have been reserved for Shenzhen.

在后续发展中，深圳逐步建立了较为规范、顺畅的基本生态线动态优化调整机制，2016年，《深圳市人民政府关于进一步规范基本生态控制线管理的实施意见》出台，切实保障了全市生态系统安全，有效控制了城市建设无序蔓延，对建设美丽深圳、促进全面协调、可持续发展具有重大意义。

In the follow-up development, Shenzhen has gradually established a relatively standardized and smooth mechanism for the dynamic optimization and adjustment of the basic ecological control lines. In 2016, the Implementation Opinions of the Shenzhen Municipal People’s Government on Further Standardizing the Management of Basic Ecological Control Lines was issued, effectively guaranteeing the security of the whole city’s ecological system and effectively controlling the disorderly spread of urban construction. It is of great significance to ensure building a beautiful Shenzhen and promoting comprehensive, coordinated and sustainable development.
