Abstract

As urbanization accelerates, land resources, which are the core factor of production for urban development, have become one of the most important factors affecting the quality and sustainability of economic growth. This study begins with a systematic theoretical elaboration of land-use efficiency, examines its relationship with urban economic performance, and reflects on typical practical cases to demonstrate how efficiency optimization promotes urban development. As per the research, land use efficiency impacts economic performance through three channels: improving factor productivity, strengthening industrial agglomeration, and enhancing spatial structure. Models of production land use, such as intensive industrial land use and mixed-function development, can effectively reduce enterprise costs, enhance innovation vitality, and boost urban competitiveness. Mixed-use land policies and smart management are planning tools that can enhance efficiency if integrated together wisely. This study offers a theoretical foundation and practical reference for the scientific formulation of land management strategies and high-quality urban development. Efficiency in the use of land can foster urban economic performance, factor productivity, and industrial agglomeration. The key is the selection and design of land use policies.
