City Overview
Nanchang is the capital city of a southeastern province called Jiangxi. The name of the city literally means “prosperous southern [city],” and is fast becoming known as a railway hub connecting East and South China. As of 2017, Nanchang has two metro lines in operation, Metro Lines 1 and 2. According to the Construction Plan for Urban Rail System Phase II (2015-2021), Nanchang’s metro system will consist of 5 lines at a total length of 197.5 km and 146 stations by 2021. The China Sustainable Cities Integrated Approach Pilot and the GPSC will support a strategy centered on a TOD-based spatial layout for the city’s growth along a low-carbon trajectory. The aim is to conduct overall TOD planning based on the experiences of Line 1 and eventually Line 2 to inform city-wide TOD policies and design guidelines.
Planning Strategies
The current Nanchang City Masterplan covers the period 2000 to 2020 and is led by the Nanchang Planning Bureau. The city’s Urban Rail Plan covers the period of 2015 to 2021 and is also led by the City Planning Bureau.
