Abstract: This paper uses the time-series analysis function in CiteSpace software to systematically review the planning standards of Chinese industrial parks between 1985 and 2021, and then studies the framework, content, regions, and industry characteristics of these standards. The study shows that China’s industrial park planning standards have evolved through a series of developmental stages, namely from being land-oriented, then sector-oriented, and, most recently, human-oriented. The study also shows that through this process, a multi-layered, cross-domain framework of park planning standards has emerged. Due to the challenges posed by reforms in national land and spatial planning systems, the movement to transform and upgrade China’s industrial parks, as well as the rapid development of overseas parks, and the further development of industrial park planning standards, offer important new opportunities. Towards this end, this paper concludes by putting forward several strategies on how to best improve the framework of these standards, which is based upon keeping up with advanced technologies and basing development on practice.
