Introduction

As the first Chinese academic work on urban development theories published under the Open Access model, the e-book edition of Theory of Urban Spatial Development by Academician Duan Jin, Vice President of the Urban Planning Society of China (UPSC), Academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and National Engineering Survey and Design Master affiliated with Southeast University, is now available for global download starting today.


On September 3, 2024, Springer announced the release of Theory of Urban Spatial Development on the Springer Nature platform for international academic access.

This book represents the culmination of years of research by Academician Duan Jin, serving as both a theoretical monograph and a practical guide. Divided into nine comprehensive chapters, it systematically constructs a holistic, systematic, and integrated research framework for urban spatial development. In this work, Academician Duan emphasizes the significance of urban spatial planning, presents analyses on the role of urban planning interventions and China's urban spatial development models, explores the evolution of modern urban design methodologies, and outlines the principles and core components of national spatial planning. Offering novel insights into understanding the dynamic and process-oriented characteristics of urban spaces, this book serves as an invaluable reference for professionals and researchers in urban planning and design, architectural design, urban management, and related fields.

As the pioneering Chinese urban development theory work distributed via Open Access, its electronic edition is now accessible for download worldwide.
