♦ URBAN GOVERNANCE UNDER THE PEOPLE-CENTERED THOUGHT

Author：YIN Zhi

ABSTRACT: The Third Plenary Session of the 18^th CPC Central Committee pointed out that the general goal of deepening the all-round reform should be to develop socialism with Chinese characteristics and to advance modernization in the state governance system and governance capacity. This means that the overall goal of deepening the reform in China should be achieved at the institutional level of modern national governance. Focusing on "people-centered" governance, this paper expounds on the connotation and development, as well as the basic principles, policies, concepts, and missions of urban governance at the current stage. Taking the lessons learned from the urban governance practice in the UK into consideration, the paper discusses the existing problems and development trend in the urban governance in China, and explores the ways for high-quality development and the aspects that planners should pay attention to in their future practice.

♦ A STUDY ON THE SPATIAL PATTERN OPTIMIZATION OF CITIZENIZATION OF NON-REGISTERED POPULATION IN CHINA

Author：WANG Kai; ZHANG Li; XIA Lingjun

ABSTRACT: Taking 331 administrative units at prefecture level and above as the research object, this paper systematically measures and identifies the spatial pattern characteristics and coupling coordination relationship of the citizenization of non-registered population in China from the perspectives of cities and individuals. The results show that: (1) The citizenization level of non-registered population in China is not high, and there are collapses in the central part of China and scale discontinuities; the potential and threshold of citizenization are spatially differentiated, and the hierarchical gradient pattern is obvious. (2) The willingness of non-registered population to settle down in the city is generally weak and there is an obvious urban hierarchical scale orientation in the willingness and ability of non-registered population to settle down. (3) The areas with a high degree of coupling coordination between the citizenization potential and the citizenization willingness of non-registered population are the areas with the lowest degree of coupling coordination between the citizenization convenience and ability of non-registered population. (4) There is an obvious spatial mismatch in the citizenization of the non-registered population, in which the citizenization willingness is in conflict with the national policy orientation and the open willingness of the city government. Finally, the paper puts forward the policy suggestions of "spatial matching and settlement orientation" to optimize the citizenization space of non-registered population.

♦ RESEARCH PARADIGM SHIFT AND GENERAL ANALYTICAL FRAMEWORK INNOVATION OF URBAN GOVERNANCE

Author：YE Yumin; WANG Chenyue

ABSTRACT：There are two research paradigms of urban governance in China: practical research paradigm (PRP) and theoretical research paradigm (TRP). The former emphasizes problem-orientation, highlighting departmental interests rather than urban public interest, so it concerns the details but ignores the whole picture. The latter stresses public interest-orientation, which regards urban governance subjects and their interrelationships as the research objects, but lacks systematic attention and response to major issues, so it is visionary but not practical enough. These two paradigms are disconnected from each other, making it difficult to meet the needs of high-level urban governance in China's new era. This paper develops "4W" general analytical framework of urban governance, which not only promotes the transformation of PRP from departmental interest-orientation to public interest-orientation, but also improves the TRP so that it addresses the major issues of urban governance and strengthens its leadership and guidance for practical research. Based on that, a new research paradigm, combining theories with practices, will lead the paradigm shift of urban governance research in the new era.

KEYWORDS: urban governance; practical research paradigm; theoretical research paradigm; paradigm shift; "4W" analytical framework

♦ DUALITY OF LAND USE IN THE LI-FANG AND ITS IMPACT ON THE TRANSFORMATION OF LI-FANG STRUCTURE IN CHANG'AN IN THE TANG DYNASTY

Author：LUAN Bin; SUN Hui

ABSTRACT: This paper claims that there is a duality in the land use rights between the privileged and common people in the li-fang of Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty. The institutional origin of this duality is discussed from the aspects of land allocation, street access control, land use management, and regulation compliance, covering three components of legislation, administration, and law enforcement. The paper then analyzes the phenomena driven by the duality, such as property annexation and transfer, and business leasing and operation. These phenomena aggravated the complexity of land use management, which further pushed forward the transformation of li-fang internal structure under the influence of economic and social changes.

♦ A STUDY ON THE REASONABLE VALUE FOR NARROWING THE WIDTH OF MOTOR VEHICLE LANE

Author：JIANG Yinghong; SHEN Leihong; LIU Zhou; LIU Shuo

ABSTRACT：Standard design based on motor vehicle leads to the obvious imbalance of the right of way, and the slow traffic environment needs to be improved. Combined with the comparison of domestic and foreign regulations and the research on application of road diet and lane width narrowing, the feasibility of reducing the lane width of motor vehicles is put forward. Speed is the most important factor affecting lane width, and the fact that the running speed is generally lower than the design speed is cited as the evidence of surplus lane space. Combined with the theoretical study of lane width for safe driving, the simulation experiment of traffic behavior and traffic safety virtual reality experimental system, and the measured data of lane and speed, the paper proposes to refine the values of vehicle lane narrowing under different road environments. For commercial, life service and recreational roads in historical and cultural conservation areas, the lane for passenger cars can be reduced to 2.85 m - 3.0 m, and the lane for large vehicles or mixed traffic can be reduced to 3.0 m - 3.25 m. Narrowing the lane width has multiple meanings such as saving land and energy, and can also better adapt to the renewal area.

KEYWORDS：road; width of motor vehicle lane; narrowing

♦ AN INITIAL APPROACH TO THE ESTABLISHMENT OF NATIONAL HISTORIC AND CULTURAL SPATIAL SYSTEM

Author：DONG Wei

ABSTRACT: Since the beginning of the 21st century, China's urbanization has gradually moved from a period of simplistic large-scale destruction and construction to a new stage of high-quality development focusing on a better environment, rich culture, and artistic characteristics of localization. In the meantime, conservation and utilization of some historic cities, towns, and blocks is not consistent with people's general demand for "high-quality development". In the age of "territorial planning", how to strengthen the urban management as well as planning and design efficiently and continuously, upgrade the cognition level on urban-rural spatial cultural and natural characteristics, and optimize the coordination and adaptation between urban and rural environment at multi-levels, will be the important directions of urban and rural renewal in the future. This paper tries to offer a new approach to enhance regional coordination, urban-rural integration, and overall conservation and development of natural and cultural resources from the perspective of "National Historic and Cultural Spatial System （NHCSS）".

♦ REFLECTIONS ON COLLABORATIVE TRANSPORTATION PLANNING UNDER THE TERRITORIAL PLANNING SYSTEM

Author：SHI Fei

ABSTRACT: With the establishment of the territorial planning system, the paradigm of transportation planning should be adjusted. It is the collaboration mechanism among multiple elements in space and the analytical method of space management and control that determine the transportation planning should be based on ecological conservation and intensive land use. Meanwhile, it is necessary to attach importance to the collaboration between transportation and other spatial elements and to the analysis of supply of transportation facilities, so as to realize the connection between transportation planning and territorial planning in terms of space management and control. Therefore, it is of great importance to adjust the concept, hierarchy, properties, and targets of transportation planning, and to consider the transition of planning content and methods, so that transportation planning can be adapted to the territorial planning system and the planning theory can be further improved.

KEYWORDS: territorial planning; transportation planning; space management and control; collaboration

♦ IMPORTANT MISSIONS AND GENERAL IDEAS OF PROVINCIAL SPATIAL PLANNING IN THE NEW STAGE

Author：DONG Ke

ABSTRACT: Provincial spatial planning should be able to implement the policies of the central government, establish related systems based on the resource endowments of the province, and coordinate city and county governments. Facing the steady socio-economic development throughout the country and the limitation of local resources, it is necessary to strengthen the role of an enabling government and give full play to the coordination role of the provincial administrative units. From a national perspective, it is important to coordinate the relationship between development and safety and to determine the development goal and strategy. From a provincial perspective, it is important to comply with the laws of nature and economy and to choose appropriate spatial organization modes. From a local perspective, it is important to use the forces of both the government and the market to achieve optimal allocation of resources.

KEYWORDS: provincial spatial planning; development goal and strategy; spatial organization mode; optimal allocation of resources

♦ CONVERSION FROM INVESTIGATIVE LOGIC TO PLANNING LOGIC: REFLECTIONS ON TERRITORIAL PLANNING BASIC DATA CONVERSION OF GUANGZHOU

Author：ZHU Jiang; YANG Qingcong; LI Yixuan; HUANG Guanqi

ABSTRACT: Base map and base number are data basis for territorial planning formulation. However, the formulation of base map and base number on the basis of the "Third National Land Survey" （abbreviated as the "Third Survey"） is faced with the difference between investigative logic and planning logic. In line with the main characteristics of the "Third Survey", this paper first analyzes the different logic between status quo investigation and planning formulation from three dimensions of space, management, and function. Then the paper explores the conversion path in combination with the practice of Guangzhou, and puts forward the basic data conversion rules and technical methods, including conversion and subdivision of specific land types, verification and match of ownership information, and calibration of land types under the spatial analysis.

♦ NEW MODE OF URBAN SELF-REGENERATION IN INNOVATION-DRIVEN CITIES

Author：DUAN Yixing

ABSTRACT: Urban regeneration in China has been trapped in the dilemma of insufficient impetus and numerous obstacles because of large investment, limited benefit, and uneven distribution. Applying the city operation model, this paper analyzes the three main types of urban regeneration, i.e., government-led, capital-led, and social group-led, clarifies the sources of impetus and obstacles, and concludes the two basic conditions for cities to realize self-regeneration: providing benefits for cities at the macro level, and balancing the interests of various parties at the micro level. Then, based on the current social background and successful international experience, the paper puts forward a new mode of urban self-regeneration that is driven by innovation-based activities: establishing the "innovation service intermediary" as the "fourth party" for the creatives, so as to achieve the rational distribution of power and benefit through this "fourth party".

♦ ORGANIC REGENERATION-ORIENTED RENOVATION OF OLD RESIDENTIAL AREAS: A STUDY ON THE COMPILATION OF TECHNICAL GUIDE FOR THE RENOVATION OF OLD RESIDENTIAL AREAS IN JIANGSU

Author：MEI Yaolin; WANG Chenghua; LI Linlin

ABSTRACT: The renovation of old residential areas is an organic component of urban regeneration in China. It is very important to establish a correct value orientation. Taking Jiangsu as an example, this paper analyzes the features, problems, and future values of old residential areas, and proposes that these areas should be regarded as a resource. An organic regeneration concept should be established to facilitate the realization of sustainable urban development. In view of the study on the compilation of Technical Guide for the Renovation of Old Residential Areas (the Construction of Livable Residential Areas) of Jiangsu, the paper puts forward that four key aspects should be emphasized in the renovation of old residential areas in the context of organic regeneration: (1) the renovation projects should be proposed and implemented in line with local conditions with respect to the public opinion; (2) the multi-objective requirements should be taken into consideration for better future development; (3) the resources inside and outside the residential area should be integrated to facilitate the overall promotion of the area through multi-level interaction; (4) a long-term mechanism should be established to ensure the sustainable improvement of the old residential areas.
