Features: Regional planning is a means for a country to achieve spatial governance and a strategic choice for national or local responses to environmental changes. In modern Chinese history, regional planning is closely linked to national development. From the perspective of modernization, the author discusses the basic context of the development of regional planning in modern China, including modern regional planning thought and practice, regional planning practice during the exploration of the socialist path, and regional planning exploration during the reform and opening-up. The author then summarizes the evolution of modern Chinese regional planning in terms of its environment, form, and content, and finally proposes a concept for China's regional spatial planning system.
