This paper describes the evolution of
Chinese comprehensive planning and proposes a
number of recommendations related to the
country's economic development and political
reform, based on analysis of the advantages and
disadvantages of the current approaches to
comprehensive planning.
Chinese urban planning has a long
history. Its origin can be traced back to 5,000
years ago. The urban planning approaches advanced
along with the development of Chinese cities.
During the long history, Chinese people formulated
a unique way of urban planning.
The different urban planning approaches
have specifically identifiable features in
different historic periods. Particularly, with
the establishment of the socialist regime in
China in 1949, complete and systematic urban
planning approaches were created.
Today, when the country is proceeding
with economic and political reforms, the reform
of comprehensive planning approaches has also been
undertaken in a significant way. The author poses
a number of viewpoints for the potential transformation
of the approaches in China, with particular
emphasis on the change of planning mechanism
(including planning process and implementation)
and citizen participation.
