Abstract：

Agriculture is one of the determining factors in the formation of rural spaces, and the modernization of agriculture has put forward a series of new demands on rural planning. The study of past rural planning programmes can provide some reference and insights into our present-day agricultural and rural development. With this aim in mind, the paper analyses two European rural planning schemes of the 1930s and 1940s that were oriented towards smallholder agriculture, namely Le Corbusier's “Radiant Farm and Cooperative Center” and Amos Edallo's “Ruralism”. Using comparative and analytical methods of literature, the paper first examines the classical theories of agricultural modernization and their localization in China, and based on the above analysis, states the reasons for choosing these two schemes. Based on the above analysis, the paper then analyzes and discusses the text and images of the two schemes, examines the gains and losses, and reexamines what can be learned from and reflected upon in China's rural development and planning nowadays. The key takeaways can be summarised as follows: transformation from peasants to modern family farms; construction of various types of cooperatives; integration of new elements with existing space structures; summarize and translate regional spatial types.
