Most of the people benefit from the urban traffic, which is so close with the human beings. However, with the development of urbanization and the increasing motor vehicles, most of the development of urban transportation sacrifices the right of human beings to satisfy the right of car. In the Small Urban, due to the rapid increase of the automobile, traffic congestion, resource consumption and environmental pollution, everyone becomes the victim of urban transportation. Therefore, the construction and development of urban transportation must involve the question of coordinated development among population, resources and environment and consider whether the transport planning and population growth, resource utilization and environmental protection can adapt to each other. Under the background which is how to make the development of urban transport system fit the future environmental protection, health, safety and efficiency of the common needs, green transportation emerges and is gradually becoming an effective way of the sustainable development of urban transport.Green transportation is a complete new concept. It is based Concorde transport system which comes from the concept of sustainable development, and it is a concept of micro-concrete which can be implemented. Green Traffic emphasizes on "people-oriented" ideology, which means to develop low-pollution Concorde transport system which is also beneficial to urban environment optimizing, that is for reducing traffic congestion and pollution, promoting social equity, saving the building maintenance costs. In this paper, a new idea of "green transportation" combines with the urban transport planning. Based on the researches and analyses of the theory sustainable development in urban transport, I found out the problem of urban transport in the Small Urban and analyzed the reasons. I also offered the characters and object and obtained the measures which can develop the green transportation to accelerate the development of green transportation: Make land compact, reduce the travel distance; improve the environment for walking, set up walking streets; establishment bicycle transportation network, set up perfect bike parking; give priority to the development of urban public transport, set up bus accommodation road ; limit motorcycles and private cars; increase in the density of road network, mainly increase subsidiary road and spur track, configure the sidewalk in all urban roads; set cycling transportation system at city's level, raise bike trip's accessibility and convenience, separate walking and cycling in space, reduce or eliminate foot and bicycle traffic interaction; enhance the awareness of public participation, strengthen the green travel behavior; coordinate green traffic relationship between internal and external. In this paper, based on the research on the green transport planning of Shanghe Country, I did some empirical analyses on green transport planning in the Small Urban to offer the new way of thinking for transport planning in the Small Urban.
