This book is both a summary of practical experiences in urban planning management and an exploration of its theoretical foundations. Its features are as follows: First, it applies systematic theory to analyze urban planning management. By analyzing the constituent elements of urban planning management activities, it helps readers gain a comprehensive understanding of what urban planning management manages, why it manages, how it manages, and how to manage it effectively. The book constructs the operational structure of the urban planning management system and, through analyzing the interrelationships between its various parts during operation, explores the key aspects of the management operational mechanism, providing readers with a thinking framework for in-depth reflection on management laws. Second, it elaborates on the operational aspects of urban planning management in accordance with the basic requirements of administering according to law. Administering according to law is a key strategy of China's governance according to law. Urban planning management, as an administrative task, must be conducted according to law. Not only do administrators need to practice it, but learners who will engage in urban planning in the future also need to understand the basic knowledge of administering according to law. Third, it recognizes urban planning management from a broad perspective. Following the principle of "making use of the past for the present and the foreign for the benefit of the motherland," the book introduces traditional Chinese administrative management thoughts and modern Western administrative management theories, proposes modern concepts of urban planning management, and provides an overview of foreign urban planning management. The purpose is to enable readers to understand, analyze, and solve problems with the correct stance, perspective, and methods (especially in terms of thinking methods). Through comparisons between the ancient and modern, as well as the Chinese and foreign aspects of management thoughts and practices, it encourages readers to adopt an attitude of keeping pace with the times and remembering China's national conditions, thereby recognizing and developing the theory and practice of urban planning management. This book is one of the textbooks for urban planning majors in Chinese universities and can also serve as a continuing education textbook for managers working in urban planning management positions.
