As the fundamental unit of urban social space,communities have been a significant platform and operative entity for improving refined urban-rural planning,construction,and governance.Numerous planning and regeneration initiatives at the community scale in recent years have effectively improved the quality of living environment at the grassroots level,while some prominent problems have also been exposed,including a lack of effective linkage between macro-scale city strategies and micro-scale local actions,the inadequacy of conventional planning technologies to meet the demands of refined governance,etc.These problems lead to significant challenges towards the establishment of a comprehensive community planning system and the improvement of planning methodologies and technologies.In response to these issues,this study proposes to establish a multi-level community planning system across"city/district-subdistrict/town-community/village".Emphasizing the city-level community planning,it identifies its role,general concept,and operational framework,and taking the community development planning project in Wenjiang District,Chengdu as an example,presents the specific operational framework and technical approach characterized by multi-factor integration,multi-subject collaboration,and whole-process participation based on a socio-spatial perspective.
