Abstract: The traditional index allocation control model of construction land in China has greatly hindered urbanization development. In this study, an evolutionary game model was used to analyze the index allocation method and strategy of construction land between local governments with different resources. The analysis results show: differentiated economical evaluation and farmland protection policies implemented by central and superior local government are the key factors that directly influence the corporatism implementation of local governments, and the “carrot” policy based on the implementation of the “stick” policy are more effective on promoting the cooperation between local governments on the efficient and intensive land use problem; the increase and optimization of the marketization degree of land expropriation compensation and capital/labor force allocation are beneficial to the improvement of land utilization efficiency and the implementation of efficient and intensive land use by local governments with different resources; the traditional race-to-the-bottom development pattern does no longer meet the requirements of new-style urbanization and land use efficiency improvement. In order to better advance the differential strategy of urbanization development, it is necessary to establish a differential assessment method for local governments, enhance the marketization level of key factors, and introduce supporting policies for household registration and transfer payment.
