This article reviews the transformation of the American planning profession since the 1980s,highlighting the global trend of urban planning adapting to external economic and political changes.By remaining grounded in its core principles while responding to changes,urban planning will not only continue to be essential but also gain opportunities for renewal.Under the new circumstances,urban planning should undergo a renewal-oriented transformation by preserving its core while embracing innovation,rather than fading into obsolescence.To achieve renewal-oriented transformation,planners need to dynamically understand the nature of planning,adapt to changes in the scope of their work and service,make good use of new tools,and more importantly,improve planning concepts.
