The urban fringe, a transition between city and countryside, is characterized by high market utilization extent, intensified utilization and frequent circulation. Due to its complicated land types, the urban fringe is not well utilized, or even wasted, or overly converted into industrial development lands. This paper summarizes the major issues in sustainable development of urban fringe, and presents some suggestions, aiming at enhancing urban fringe land utilization, combining human economic activities, land utilization and eco-environmental construction together so as to achieve a target of plowland protection, construction land protection and eco-environmental protection.
