Features: This book is divided into three parts:
1. Urban Planning and Design Section. The content covers the development and trends of modern urban planning, planning hierarchies, urban development theories, garden cities and urban villages as well as new urbanism, sustainable development, environmental impact assessment, urban heritage protection, urban design, urban landscapes, and public participation. Each unit is a specialized topic, ranging from urban planning to urban design, from the historical development of planning to specific planning theories, striving for a complete theoretical system while ensuring the independence and completeness of each topic. This structure is both convenient for teaching arrangements and for students' self-study.
2. Architecture Section. The content includes introductions to four architectural masters and their representative works. Each topic in this section is independent, relative to the planning section.
3. CD-ROM Section. The content includes a large number of images, primarily from the architecture section, as well as electronic files of the manuscript. The main focus of this book is to introduce and analyze urban planning and architectural design from abroad, with a broad theoretical scope and fresh perspectives. The book uses original materials, accompanied by Chinese introductions and annotations, making it suitable as a textbook for English reading in urban planning and architecture. At the same time, due to its complete theoretical system and detailed case analyses, it can also serve as a reference book for professionals.
