Features: Urban planning is both a government function and a science, with a strong technical character. Since the reform and opening-up, China's urban planning discipline has made significant progress, with substantial changes in both theoretical development and methods. The scientific rigor of urban planning has been increasingly strengthened. On the other hand, extensive urban planning practices have laid a foundation for the discipline's theoretical development while also providing valuable experience for various aspects of urban planning. The entire collection is published in a series format, comprising 11 volumes, namely: General Theory; Urban System Planning and Master Planning; Small Town Planning; Regulatory Detailed Planning; Urban Design; Urban Public Activity Centers; Urban Residential Area Planning; Urban Historical Preservation and Urban Renewal; Scenery, Landscapes, Green Spaces, and Tourism; Urban Transportation and Urban Roads; Engineering Planning. The entire series spans 6 million words. This book can serve as a fundamental reference for planning and design professionals, an important resource for research and management personnel in urban planning, and a popular science reading for a broad audience concerned with and supportive of urban development and planning.
