Features: China's urbanization process has entered a stage of rapid development. As a nation with several thousand years of highly developed agricultural civilization, China is facing a historic social transformation—transitioning from an agrarian civilization-dominated society to one led by urban civilization. This not only requires in-depth professional research from urban scholars and planners but may also demand transforming urban studies and planning into a widely understood public science. This is the largest cornerstone and guarantee for the healthy, sustainable, and harmonious development of China's urbanization path. Urban regional planning is a discipline that spans numerous fields and encompasses a vast scope. This book is an introductory guide that provides a comprehensive overview of urban and regional planning systems in simple and accessible language. It is well-known that the objectives, challenges, content, and methods of urban and regional planning vary depending on the historical development stage of different countries, cities, and regions. This book primarily summarizes and synthesizes the research on urban and regional planning from modern Japan and Western countries. It contains many research findings and lessons learned that can serve as references and inspiration for those involved in urban planning. This book is suitable for students, scholars, and readers from both the public and private sectors who are engaged in urban and regional planning research.
