Abstract: Rapid urbanization raises the issue of protecting development interests in net-incremental reduction regions of construction land (NRRCL). Spatial injustice (SI) is one of the key factors for the smooth implementation of construction land reduction (CLR) policies. This study theoretically analyzes the influence of SI on the economic development in CLR saving quota outflow regions, namely, NRRCL, and conducted empirical tests with the difference-in-differences model. The findings reveal that: (1) regional differences in CLR policy promote the transfer of land development rights from NRRCL to net-incremental increase regions of construction land (NIRCL) in economically developed regions, thus resulting in SI; (2) SI limits the economic development of NRRCL; (3) land-use planning negatively impacts economic development in planning reduced-type regions; (4) the off-site realization of spatial justice in the CLR process in suburbs has comparative advantages; (5) in the process of CLR, it is vital to promote the transfer of population from NRRCL to NIRCL to alleviate the negative impact of SI.
