CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK OF INDIGENOUS URBANISM AND PROSPECTS FOR CHINESE PLANNING
While"urbanism"has become a prominent thought,concept,and practice in urban planning,systematic theoretical reflection on its foundations and implications remains insufficient.This study identifies ideas,actions,and results as key perspectives for understanding urbanism based on a review of literature and theoretical analysis related to urban society and planning design.Coupled with urban theory,planning theory,and planning methods,it develops a conceptual model of urbanism and applies it to interpret urban planning practices in China's urbanization process.The indigenous urbanism in China is characterized by clear top-level guidance,proactive planning interventions,and significant urbanization outcomes.Despite a considerable accumulation of planning method and experience,the localization of urban theory and planning theory remains underdeveloped.Looking forward to the trends and requirements of China's new urbanization model,this study proposes a concept of"Chinese planning"rooted in indigenous urbanism.Guided by Chinese modernization,it emphasizes outcome-oriented,high-quality development and spatial governance,jointly committed to generating Chinese planning theory and urban theory during the urbanization with Chinese characteristics.
