Abstract：

The notion of the integration between water management and spatial planning is increasingly prevalent in governing climate adaptation. As a pioneer, the Netherlands has made a great effort to support this idea. This paper first introduces the evolution of organizational structures of the Dutch government since the 1990s. In this process, the external coordination and decentralization trends contribute to the merger of two ministries in relation to water affairs and urban development. Following that, this paper reveals how the policy framing from water management and spatial planning is changed, which finalizes close coordination between hydrological engineers and planners at national policy documents. This paper concludes with suggestions to improve the Chinese spatial planning system, which spare limited attention to policy making, technics and coordination in such a cross-boundary governing issue.
