Abstract

Urban-rural planning is a new discipline developed with the rapid progress of urbanization over the past 30 years. With the establishment of this discipline, public policy becomes the essential attribute of urban and rural planning. Based on the logical origin of the state’s political system as well as its transformation and development, and taking the operation of modern public policy as the analytical framework, this paper discusses issues about “urban and rural planning”, “public policy” and “implementation”. The paper places “implementation” into the operational link of urban and rural planning to grasp the research content of “the implementation of urban and rural planning”, and puts “implementation” into the political environment of urban and rural planning to grasp the operation mode of “the implementation of urban and rural planning”. The paper also discusses “implementation” in the context of the transformation and development of urban and rural planning, so as to grasp the target of “the implementation of urban and rural planning”. It tries to establish the theoretical framework of “the implementation of urban and rural planning” from the three aspects of research contents, the operation mode and target, in order to meet the trend of discipline development in the future.
