Features: The historical and cultural value of a city is a compass that prevents it from losing its way in self-development. Urban planning not only requires universal engineering rationality but also demands respect for each city's cultural temperament. Through the cultural approach of urban planning, it identifies the direction of urban development and guides the city to preserve its memory and individuality in the context of rapid development. Emphasizing the cultural strategy of urban planning aims to establish a platform for discussing and focusing on urban cultural concepts, summarizing and exchanging practical experiences. Although the discourse on urban cultural concepts is not yet fully systematic, and some planning practices are still somewhat immature due to being initiated by young planners, these do not hinder our attention to urban culture.
