Linking the increase and decrease of land (hereinafter referred to as linking) refers to linking the increase of urban construction land with the decrease of rural construction land. It refers to the reclamation of a number of rural construction land plots into cultivated land (that is, the demolition of old land plots) and the land plots used for urban construction (that is, the land plots to be built) into a new and old demolition project area (hereinafter referred to as the project area). Through measures such as new construction and demolition of old land plots, land consolidation and reclamation, On the basis of ensuring the balance of all kinds of land area in the project area, the goal of increasing the effective area of cultivated land, improving the quality of cultivated land, saving and intensive use of construction land and making the layout of urban and rural land more reasonable will finally be realized.

Since the late 1990s, some places have taken measures such as construction land replacement, circulation and land consolidation to revitalize the existing construction land in urban and rural areas and solve the shortage of construction land in towns and industrial parks. In June 2000, "Several Opinions of the Central Committee of the State Council on Promoting the Healthy Development of Small Towns" (Zhong Fa [2000] 1 1No.) proposed that "the construction of small towns by moving villages and merging points, land consolidation and other means can be appropriately supported in the construction land plan.

In order to implement the document Zhong Fa [2000] 1 1, the Ministry of Land and Resources subsequently issued the Notice on Strengthening Land Management to Promote the Healthy Development of Small Towns (Guo Tu Zi Fa [2000] No.337), which clearly put forward the turnover index of construction land for the first time, mainly through "concentration of rural settlements in central villages and market towns" and "concentration of township enterprises in industrial communities". The State Council's Decision on Deepening Reform and Strict Land Management (Guo Fa [2004] No.28), which has an important impact on China's current land policy, also puts forward that "the consolidation of rural construction land should be encouraged, and the increase of urban construction land should be linked with the decrease of rural construction land".

In order to steadily promote the work of linking the increase and decrease of urban and rural construction land, the Ministry of Land and Resources organized a pilot work of linking, and successively issued a series of documents to clarify the basic policy requirements. At the beginning of the pilot work, the number of linked pilots was limited, and the pilot project areas were directly approved, guided and managed by the Ministry of Land and Resources. Since 2009, the Ministry of Land and Resources has changed the way of examination and approval management, and incorporated linked turnover indicators into the annual land use plan management. The Ministry of Land and Resources is responsible for determining the total scale of linked turnover indicators and decomposing the indicators, and the relevant provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities are responsible for the approval and management of the pilot areas.
