Abstract: This paper explores the factors affecting newly increased construction land (NCL) in China at different development stages based on supply figures for the land market in 2010–2015. The results reveal that with the progress of regional development, NCL gradually increases, whereas the dependence of regional development on NCL decreases. Moreover, the structure of NCL at different development stages differs significantly. Nonagricultural industry development, land resource scarcity, population growth, economic extroversion, and domestic capital have different effects on NCL at different stages of development. These differences are closely related to the socioeconomic characteristics of each development stage. These findings may enrich the study of urban expansion in China's economic transition. This paper suggests that the government should be aware of regional differences in NCL regulation.
