Decision Analysis On Urban Planning In The Process Of The Inner City Renewal

The development of the old town has always been the unevadable part of the develoment of the city. Since we carried out the Reform and Opening-up policy, the inner city renewal has experienced an extraordinary three decades. from the initial Inspiring project to today's works which arose great public anger, from the original Carefully small-scale reform to the current drastic reconstruction, from the original historical cities with different characteristics into freak cities which have bruise everywhere. Faced with this sad reality, the city governments who lead the urban development, urban planning have to be responsible for that. Although the academic res earch has clearly proved the current mode of large-scale Urban Renewal is unacceptable, the cities can't get rid of the dependence of it in the pracrise.By contrast, the inner city renewal of the western country has moved into a more mature stage of community self-update, while China still remain in the crude update stage which is market-oriented. Why we can't go out of the predicament even if we can draw lessons from the western countries? That makes us have to question about the decision-making process in the field of inner city renewal. What the position of the govements who lead the policymaking? Why the mode of community self-update advocated by the academic world can't come into realiy? Under the different policy preferances, the governments seam to be very arbitrary. Why the mistakes of the picymaking can be foud from time to time?Urban planning is a kind of policy-making based on the redistribution of public resources, and the implementation of it Is based on the Government's administrative power. The process of its decision-making actually is the running of the public power. the special nature of the Urban Renewal activities make it inevitably involves the private rights of many individuals while driving the government public power. Therefore, in the decision-making process of updating the the Old City, private rights and public power are mutually exclusive, cross-cutting, and form the two fundamental forces in the decision-making process. This paper attempts to extract the development process of decision-making of China's urban planning under the clue of power, from all levels of the decision-making of the Urban Renewal urban planning, including the analysis of main power, the power structure, power mechanism, and from the environment of the urban planning decision-making, the main body, mechanisms, and analysis the control factor of information. In the reform and opening up the development process through the instruction-based decision-making, protocol-based decision-making and game-based decision-making three kinds of decision-making stages of development. In the process of reform and opening up, it went throught the stage of directive decision,the stage of negotiatory decision,and the stage of game-based decision.â‘ the directive decision:is formed in the early period of Reform and opening up,under the social background of planned commodity economic and, and it's a highly centralized decision-making model based on plan arrangements. With the aim of " overcome difficulties", the model has the characteristics of the unified decision-making body, spacious style information model and instruction-based decision-making mechanisms.â‘¡contract decision:is formed at the stage of the reform and opening promotion, and it is formed in the phase of co-existence of two-track system of the market and the administration. It is a kind of decision-making model that the behavior of the parties bound by agreement, with the characteristics of Dual-based decision-making body, single information-based mode, decision-making mechanisms of protocols.â‘¢game-based decision:Since the imperfections of the formal rules of agreement and institution, people are increasingly used to the abnormal phenomena that there are a wide variety of hidden rules, gray rules, black rule, rent-seeking and rent-setting. Under the market economy, the battle of the interest evolved into a new decision-making patterns. This game-based decision-making is the satisfactory result of balance of interests, with the characteristics of the diversification of interest, all depending on the information models and game-based decision-making.Since the reform and opening-up, This decision-making process from the directive decision, to the negotiatory decisio, to game-based decision is the counterbalance process of Urban formal and non-formal nature of governance and the civil rights of official power demands, it is this process that has led to institutional changes of China's urban development. So depend on the rules of China's urban development pattern, this paper put forward the recommendations that China's Urban Renewal should be made towards equity-oriented small-scale incremental update mode, the civilian-based decision-making body reconstruction, democratization, decision-making mechanism and monitoring information systems to build urban planning decision-making path.
