Abstract:

City of Davis, California, is one of the earliest towns in the United States to implement “growth management” since 1973. From then, in the previous urban planning, on the basis of maintaining the original scale of land use, relevant urban planning strategies have been continuously enriched, including university town, rural ecological community, bicycle system combined with green belt, etc. This paper reviews the urban development process of Davis’ growth management policy since its implementation, and discusses the planning concepts and core strategies. At the same time, this paper compares Davis as a small town with large and medium-sized cities in the United States, and discusses the differences in the implementation policies of growth management between them. It points out that Davis’ implementation of growth management is ahead of schedule and initiative, locality, externality, as well as dynamic evolution and multi policy binding reconstruction. Finally, the paper puts forward some suggestions on the relationship between growth management and people’s rural life style, agricultural university town and sustainable development strategy.
