Features: "Innovation and Seeking Truth" is a concept that the Guangzhou Urban Planning and Research Institute has consistently adhered to regarding urban planning discipline and industry development. Rapid economic growth and social transformation have driven the development of urban planning, necessitating continuous innovation in planning concepts, procedures, methods, and technologies. Urban planning has gradually shifted from being a purely technical field to encompassing broader areas such as social, economic, and public policy. The editors believe that in the practice of serving the economy, society, and urban construction management, only continuous innovation can address the emerging challenges, and only pragmatism can turn theory into action. This book is a compilation and summary of the urban planning theory and practice achievements of the Guangzhou Urban Planning and Research Institute over the past five years. It includes both outstanding urban planning design works and high-level academic papers on urban planning. The book not only reflects the basic philosophy of the institute in urban planning practice but also embodies its aspirations for the future development of the urban planning profession.
