Urban Planning Agency Setting And Functions Research Of China

Since reforming and opening, China's economic develops rapidly and urbanization continues to increase. Accompanied with the process of planned economy to market economy, social development has entered a transition period, and the cities face unprecedented complexity and contradiction. The trend of diversified Interests has occurred in the nature of Planning service, and the functions of urban planning system is constantly being changed, the planning system's planning agency established in planned economy has exposed lots of problems. Planning agencies is the main role of city planning behavior, so rational distribution of functions and set the model is the important for planning conduct order. In how to coordinate multi-stakeholder and ensure fairness and justice, the planning agencies has an irreplaceable role, so facing the change of economic, social, environments , we must actively respond to a variety of challenges. In this background paper presented subject, try to study from the planning matters and related functional organizations, which would be provided constructive ideas and opinions for China.Because urban planning related to multi-disciplinary cooperation, which involving large number of variety institutions, the current China scholars is still in the stage of dispersion, lacking systematic theoretical sort, so the nature and the pattern of the planning agency is scarcity in overall awareness. This paper attempts to integrate the dispersed state to form a systematic study of the planning agency, making a general commanding the whole style. Therefore, research is focused on understanding the whole plan institutional system from the overall, and according to the problems in the practice take partial-depth. Through literature studies, historical research, comparative studies and other research methods, the framework of the planning agency would be sorted out so that people would have a clearer understanding of their content, form, characteristics.Firstly, paper analysis of the planning agencies from the theoretical aspect, studying the power characteristics of planning agencies from the perspective of Planning Services, which make planning reflecting more political, and planning agencies and other government functions are inextricably linked, therefore study is based on government planning agencies as the main object. The differences of planning services results in each level of government with appropriate authority and power which to ensure the fairness of planning, different level of the planning agency would be research from the aspect of distribution and balances of powers. The paper also study the operation of planning agency from the perspective of behavioral research, which divided the goals of the act into several stages, analyzing the different mechanisms of planning function from the perspective of logic. Papers selected England as the comparison object, besides political systems, social and cultural factors, trying to study common planning affairs as starting point, analyses the British planning institutions at different levels of the functions undertaken, corresponding mechanism and operation of power. The UK experience is study means and the ultimate aim of this paper is to solve China's planning problem.Understanding of urban planning comes from the period of the plan economic, so China's planning agency have been classified in the construction sector, as the executing agency or technical institutions. Many urban planning-related functions are distributed to other government departments, by the impact of fragmentation of the administrative system, urban planning services often limited within the department, which bring many obstacles to coordination and cooperation between departments. Locating planning agency the functions of construction Sector seems difficult to deal with comprehensive planning. Meanwhile, China's planning system is built on the spatial scale, which forms a planning agency under the jurisdiction of the scope of administrative space, corresponding to a planning type of planning classification system. This rigid classification derived from the administrative management, but this jurisdiction species by decision from the agency has been a lot of irrational matters in practice. In this paper, theoretical construct to understand the characteristics of planning agencies, combined with the experience of foreign countries learn from China's planning agency, in-depth study, try to explore China's planning agency, and improve the provision of reference direction.
