How urban rail transits reshape land development has been extensively studied in the US and European cities.Yet studies from developing or less-developed countries have been limited.The influences of rail transits on land development in developing countries like China have drawn much scholarly attention in recent years,in part due to the speed and the scale of its rapid urbanization and the unprecedented development of its rail systems.The main research questions of our study are: whether or not rail transits serve as the magnets that attract new developments or redevelopments to areas surrounding stations; and whether the city-shaping ability of rail transits differs between central areas and suburbs.
