英文摘要：

The urban land intensive use is not only the primary way to alleviate the contradiction of the cultivated land protection with land demand caused by economic development, but also the main approach to promote urban healthy and sustainable development. This paper forecasts future research on urban land intensive use based on summarizing progress in domestic and foreign related researches, then indicates four aspect questions we should pay more attention. First, we should wisely define urban land intensive use according to research target and attainable data. Second, we should pay more attention to the utilization of GIS to analyze so much data relate to urban land intensive use. Third, our research work should relate closely with specific problems about urban land intensive use. And finally, our research our consciously focus on urban land planning and management.
