Regional rivers cross administrative boundaries and connects multiple urban, rural and natural spaces. Rivers and the riparian areas have diversified ecological services, which are the focal contradiction areas of natural resources protection and utilization. The value concept, planning method and management mechanism of integrated river planning and regulation in China are not conducive to the coordination of ecological protection and construction. The United States has experienced the river protection, restoration and utilization stage after urbanization, and is good at coordinating the relationship between land use, natural hydrological process and social economy. Its experience has a good reference value for improving the protection effectiveness and composite service function of river natural resources. Based on the case study, this paper analyzes the concepts and methods of Los Angeles River integrated planning and regulation from three aspects: planning objectives and organization, core planning methods, design guidance and management. It puts forward the experience and enlightenment for China’s regional river integrated planning and control: the establishment of river composite function goals under multi-dimensional value orientation, the “river ruler” tool runs throughout the whole process of analysis, planning and regulation, and the connection to the planning system and adoption of the collaborative management with the participation of multiple subjects.
