Liu Jingyi

Keywords: Urban Planning; Public Finance; Discipline Construction; Professional Education; History of Urban Planning

Abstract:

The current stage of China’s urban and rural development requires practitioners in urban planning to have a broader and more diversified knowledge base. It is important to understand the intersection of urban planning with finance for the future development of planning in China. This paper first reviews the development of urban planning and public finance and their education in the United States from the early 20th century to the present in three stages. Then it summarizes the current disciplinary systems and curriculums of the U.S. university urban planning programs by takingten graduate programs from the U.S. planning schools as examples, so as to observe the future trends of mainstream planning education. Finally, this paper discusses the implications of the U.S. experience for China’s urban planning education programs. It is hoped that planning universities in China can improve the disciplinary systems, broaden educational paths and enhance the training of urban planners.
