The development of the Hexi Corridor area has been attached great importance due to the “Belt and Road” international cooperation initiative. Meanwhile, the optimization of land use structure has played a major role in the development of this area. In order to promote healthier and more efficient development of the Hexi Corridor area, this paper collects and reviews recent multidimensional data on the development of the area. In addition, by applying the Lorentz curve and Gini coefficient method, this paper also concentrates on several aspects in the development of the Hexi Corridor area: (a) quantifying the land use balance based on data from various prefecture-level Hexi cities; (b) revealing developmental experiences and efficiency; (c) exploring overall urban land use status; (d) and proposing targeting urban planning and development strategies.
