2.3 沿线土地开发进度及结合建设
鉴于沿线物业的开发与地铁的建设在开发进度、结合建设、费用承担等多方面均有密切联系，都需要通过相应的合同条款对各方的权利义务事先进行明确的约定。香港地铁的运作模式即是如此。在获得沿线地块的土地使用权后，其再寻找合作方，共同开发该地块。在此合作开发过程中，地铁方面始终保持强势，参与掌控地产开发的全部进程，包括对地产项目总承包商的选择，甚至包括对总承包合同的内容把握。笔者以为，这是非常行之有效的经验，值得内地各城市的地铁开发商借鉴。这种做法，不仅能确保地铁的建设进度，顺利解决地铁和地产开发过程中的结合建设问题，也能促进沿线地产早日开发建设完成，早日投入运营，早日将地产获得盈利补充到地铁的建设和运营中，以真正实现以沿线土地的开发来弥补地铁建设和运营亏损的初衷。
而在结合建设方面的法律规范则亟待完善。尽管有些城市已出台了一些有关地铁建设的相关规范性文件，如《深圳市地下铁道建设管理暂行规定》、《广州市地下铁道建设管理规定》，但均没有对结合建设所涉相关法律问题，如地下土地使用权和地铁上盖物业之间的产权划分等做出明确的规定。目前，天津市率先开始了该方面的积极尝试。其正在起草中的《天津市地下铁道设施与周边建筑结合建设管理办法》，即旨在对结合建设中的此类问题进行规范。
鉴于目前在开发进度和结合建设方面无相关规定，因此，地铁项目涉及到沿线物业开发以及物业与地铁结合建设的情况时，尤其是物业由开发商独立开发或地铁项目公司与其他开发商合作开发的情况下，应在相关特许经营协议以及合作开发协议中做出相应约定与安排，避免开发建设过程中发生纠纷影响开发进度。 在法律法规缺位的情况下，建议结建各方可在专业律师的协助下，充分利用法无明文禁止不违法的法律原则，通过合同谈判和签订，明确界定双方的权利义务，以期有效保护己方的合法权利的同时，最大限度地预防和控制风险。

2.3 Along Subway Land Development Progress and Joint Construction
Whereas the along subway property development and subway construction have very close co-relationship in the respect of construction progress, joint construction, cost sharing, etc., all these need to be specifically provided in the contract in order to regulate each party ‘s rights and obligations in advance. The operation of Hong Kong Subway is using exactly the same mode. After obtaining the land alongside the subway, the Subway Company will look for partner to jointly develop the land. During the process of the joint land development, Subway Company always holds the dominant position, participates in the whole land development process, including the selection of the main contractor for real properties development, and even the control of the terms and conditions of the main construction contract. It is concludes that such mode is a very effective experience, and worth to be introduced to the mainland subway developer for reference. This mode, not only can ensure the construction progress of the subway, solve the joint construction of the subway construction and land development, but also can facilitate the early completion and operation of the real properties alongside the subway line, and use the profit of the property development to compensate the subway operation, so as to realize the aspiration of using the land development to compensate the losses of the subway construction and operation.
However, the laws and regulations in respect of the joint construction need to be improved. Although certain cities have promulgated some rules and policies in relation to the subway construction, for example, “Interim Administrative Rules on the Shenzhen Subway Construction”， “Administrative Rules on Guangzhou Subway Construction”, none of these rules have been related to joint construction and its relevant issues, such as, the property rights of underground land use right and railway stations upper space property. Currently, Tianjing has become the first city attempt to promulgate the relevant laws in this regard. Tianjing is currently drafting the “Administrative Rules on Tianjing Subway Facilities and Surrounding Buildings Joint Construction”.
As currently we don’t know any laws or regulations in relation to the construction progress and joint construction, therefore, if the subway project involving alongside land development and joint construction of property and subway construction, esp. the property is solely developed by Subway Company or Subway Company jointly develop the land with other developer, the government shall set detail provisions and terms in the Licensing Agreement so as to avoid the relevant disputes which may impact the construction progress arising from the development progress. In lack of the laws and regulations, we suggest, under the assistance of the professional lawyers, the parties involved could consider to fully use the principle on freedom of contract, through contract negotiation and execution, clearly define the rights and obligations of the parties in the contract so as to protect the legal rights of each party and prevent or control the potential risks thereof.

“十五”计划期间，中国城市轨道交通（地铁、轻轨）建设投资高达2000亿元，建成了总长度550公里左右的城市轨道线路。“十一五”期间将投资 6000 亿元计划于 2015 年前在 15 个城市建造总里程达 1600 公里的 64 条城市轨道线路。
除北京、上海、香港、天津、广州、深圳、南京等城市已经建成的线路外，目前重庆、杭州、成都、西安、武汉、苏州、大连、青岛、长春、沈阳、哈尔滨等城市也正在推进轨道交通工作，有些城市已经开工。
中国各大城市如火如荼地兴建地铁的同时，也面临着巨大的资金压力，探索多元化的投资模式成为迫在眉睫的重要任务。除了传统的政府投资、银行贷款，在轨道交通领域已开始尝试运用融资租赁、资产证券化、BOT、BT等等。

During the tenth “five-year” plan, investment on Chinese urban trail way transport construction has reached 200 billion RMB, and the total length of the urban trail way is 550 kilometers. In the next “five-year” plan(11th “five-year” plan), 600 billion RMB will be invested on 64 trail ways in 15 cities with the total length of 1600 kilometers before 2015.
Besides many trail ways that have been successfully completed in Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong,Tianjin, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Nanjing, there are also many other cities such as Chongqing, Chengdu, Xi’an, Wuhan, Suzhou, Dalian,Qingdao, Changchun, Shenyang, Ha’erbin being very active in city trail way projects, and many of them have started the construction.
With many of the Chinese large cities paying more and more attention on city trail way construction projects, meanwhile they also face the challenge in terms of capital. Therefore, it is a great task to explore new financing modes. With great efforts and innovation, no longer stop at the traditional government investment or loan from bank, parties in the project begin to take many new financing modes such as finance leasing, asset securities, BOT, BT etc.

土地使用权出资，是土地使用权转让的特殊形式。是指土地使用权人将其享有的土地使用权作价，作为其资本金投入新成立的公司中，或与他人合资、合作开发房地产项目。

Investing in land-use rights is a special form of land-use-rights transfer. It refers to an investment in land-use rights by a land owner involved in a new project company engaged in joint real estate development.
In China, if land-use-right owners intend to get involved in a real estate project using land-use rights as an investment, they must consider Chinese special land policies, rules and regulations concerning the practice and its legal risks. Several legal problems arise in practice:
