Road safety is increasingly considered as a necessary component in the transportation planning process. Safety measures should be incorporated into transportation planning since the way the planning process is performed, including design, construction, operation and maintenance, significantly affects traffic safety. In the past decade, considerable efforts have been made to explore various safety conscious planning approaches to form the next generation method, i.e. Transportation Safety Planning. This paper presents a review for the state of the art and practice of Transportation Safety Planning in the United States. A theoretical framework is proposed for further exploration of the new planning method. Using Florida planning data, two case studies are presented to illustrate the development of aggregate safety prediction model at different zone level and the possible modifiable areal unit problem in zonal safety prediction. Future research directions on major challenges associated with this new research topic are recommended.

Since the late 1990s, the Korean government is promoting new policies of new town development, such as ecological city, multifunctional administrative city, citizen led enterprise city, innovation city to revitalize local economy, city-rural combination city, international city for free trade market, etc. In this way, new towns in Korea are being constructed for various political purposes through sustainable development methods. But, there are also many negative effects as well as positive effects of new town development. Accordingly, in order to develop sustainable new towns and to achieve a goal of new town development, it is positively necessary that enough precedent research and systematic action plans are preconditioned for a process of converting into a new development planning paradigm.

The coordinated urban-rural development is to include rural development into the overall framework of regional development. It is contended that the evolving relation between human and natural environment and the complex adjustment of urban-rural benefits require transition of the existing Chinese planning management and policy system urgently, by an intensive case study in Chengdu. By examining the coordinated urban-rural planning transition in Chengdu, this paper developed an analytical framework for planning management transition and discussed the institutional transition, planning system transition, planning mechanism transition and planning technics transition of coordinated urban-rural planning management in China.

In the renovation of the old cities in contemporary china, the way of building first has been generally adopted for a long time. Land function transformation is made as a top priority in urban renewal for land value increment and tax. In this way, what is gained in economic interests temporarily is lost in the historical value and feature of old city. The paper presents a strategy of considering first the ecological environment, historical culture, features and public life of an old city from a landscape standpoint. To illustrate the practical applications of the strategy of landscape first, examples selected from New York, U.S.A, and Jiangsu Province P. R. of China are presented.

China has been well known for its huge amounts of planning practises since its reform and opening policy. However, systemic discussions related to planning theory are inadequate. This paper discussed the evolution, transition and a possible prospection of Chinese planning from both theoretical and empirical dimensions, particularly featured by exploring links between Chinese planning and European (or ‘western’ oriented) spatial planning. The evolution of Chinese planning, now in a highly dynamic phase, has distinguished itself from European planning by a highly rational, coordinated and top-down approach. This paper argued several reasons for this. Beyond that, there is a wide range of possibilities to be considered and reflected on, which could enhance planning theory and practice. According to this, a possible direction for Chinese planning could be more adaptive to coordinate with the self-organized reality, to cope with increasing uncertainties in planning and most importantly, to contribute for a better living.

In the last 30 years, China has experienced a rapid and unique urbanization process. However, there is no a uniform Chinese way in urbanization. Clues found in Fuyang City in Anhui province reveal that urbanization in Central China is experiencing a transformation. The paper bases on an empirical investigation in Fuyang City, which bases on data of the city's 120 towns and townships (T&Ts), further surveys in 6 representative T&Ts, as well as deep visits with functionaries in the city. In the light of the findings in Fuyang City, the paper tries to figure out and depict a new urbanization pattern rising in the Central China, when more extensive materials are scanned and analyzed. As the conclusion, a possible new pattern, “emigrating urbanization” plus “local intensive urbanization” is defined as the rising urbanization way in Central China, based on which future challenges and advises are provided in the end of the paper.

This paper examines the development impacts of French TGV and analyzes its implications for China. It first provides the research background and introduces the relevance of European Spatial Development Perspective (ESDP) to the theme of China's coordinated urban and rural development and planning. The paper then reviews the most important literatures related to the development impacts of high-speed rail projects. Subsequently, the paper gives an overview of French TGV and assesses its transportation and non-transportation impacts. After briefly comparing the characteristics of China and France, the paper probes into the prospect of HSR development in China and proposes the “AAA” strategic toolbox (Agglomeration-related strategies, Access-related strategies, and Airports-related strategies) and implementation procedures to help China develop its HSR projects in a sustainable manner.

Northern Plains region includes North China Plain and Northeast China Plain, which belongs to ten provinces of administrative. Generally, there are many similarities in geographical conditions, economic level, urban-rural relations and urbanization level among these districts. In this paper, the author analyses from the aspects of the meaning of new urbanization and the importance of county's urbanization and indicates that county economy will be a key part of the entire regional economic development of North plain, and the county urbanization will be the fastest, most potential and largest scale way of development in Northern Plains region. The way of County's new urbanization in North plain can be summarized as a development mode of “node-aggregate-urbanization”, which is "industrialization promotes urbanization, urban development promotes rural development, development way of agglomeration and achieve the goal of urban-rural integration”.

Peri-urbanization has been taking place in the surrounding areas of metropolitan area in China due to the influence of outside investment and rural industrialization, and the conflicts of urban and rural dual track management system. Nowadays, while growing quickly in GDP, peri-urban area has been facing many problems in industrial structure, land use efficiency,and environmental protection. Based on literature review, this paper takes Peri-urban Shanghai as a case study, summarizes its evolution and characteristics in terms of social-economic structure, population, employment and land use; than analyzes its driving force in both top-down and bottom-up levels.

Transit-Oriented Development (TOD), a strategy focusing development around transit stations, was brought forward in the US in 1990s and promoted worldwide. Many Chinese cities are building or planning to build mass rapid transit systems, which provides a golden opportunity to realize truly sustainable urban transportation. However, the land developments surrounding transit stations are Transit-Adjacent Developments (TADs) at best, lacking transit-land use integration and generating undesired travel patterns. This paper completes previously proposed TOD-China model and similar frameworks by explicitly incorporating into the framework the desired travel outcomes in urban China that TOD-China are expected to offer. The most desired travel outcomes identified in TOD-China are balanced transit ridership, low car ownership and usage, short trip length and duration, and high non-motorized mode share within the TOD. Hong Kong's TOD experience is introduced to serve as a benchmarking case for TOD-China practices.
