Abstract

ABSTRACT This paper investigates the formal instruments of design governance and the urban design decision-making environment in Chinese cities. It identifies Shenzhen, Shanghai and Nanjing as three cities pioneering in design-led planning in China and critically evaluates their approaches using a series of ‘best practice’ principles for design review and development management. The findings are based on 20 semi-structured interviews with key stakeholders, a review of their design portfolios, and an analysis of urban design policies and plans. The paper identifies the progress made with design governance in the three ‘pioneer’ cities as well as the challenges associated with adopting more design-sensitive planning practice. It concludes with four recommendations for Chinese cities. These focus on foregrounding sense of place in city-wide urban design visions, raising the quality of design guidance and codes, more effectively coordinating regulations produced by different government departments and agencies, and widening opportunities for public participation.

中国三个“先锋城市”的城市设计治理
摘要本文研究了中国城市设计治理的形式工具和城市设计决策环境。它将深圳、上海和南京确定为中国设计主导规划的三个先锋城市,并使用一系列设计审查和开发管理的“最佳实践”原则对它们的方法进行了批判性评估。调查结果基于对主要利益相关者的20次半结构化访谈,对其设计组合的回顾以及对城市设计政策和计划的分析。本文确定了三个“先锋”城市在设计治理方面取得的进展,以及采用更注重设计的规划实践所面临的挑战。报告最后对中国城市提出了四点建议。这些措施侧重于在整个城市设计愿景中突出地方感,提高设计指导和规范的质量,更有效地协调不同政府部门和机构制定的法规,以及扩大公众参与的机会。

期刊介绍: Planning, at urban, regional, national and international levels, faces new challenges, notably those related to the growth of globalisation as both an objective socio-economic process and a shift in policy-maker perceptions and modes of analysis. International Planning Studies (IPS) addresses these issues by publishing quality research in a variety of specific fields and from a range of theoretical and normative perspectives, which helps improve understanding of the actual and potential role of planning and planners in this context.
