空间治理之“道”:源自老子哲学的启示

THE “TAO” OF SPATIAL GOVERNANCE: ENLIGHTENMENT OF URBAN PLANNING BY LAO ZI

按照国家提出的"推进国家治理体系和治理能力现代化"的战略要求,作为"空间治理"政策工具的城市规划也纳入到了治理现代化改革的时代背景中。通过分析主流城市规划的历史嬗变,认为西方现代城市规划作为一门解决城市问题的学问,必然从属于"问题导向",且整体上具有"城市问题—孕育新理论—产生新问题"循环的特点。改革开放30多年来,中国城市规划也被带入了"问题导向"发展的循环圈中。本文引入老子哲学,从本体论、认识论、方法论和人性论方面构建了一个整体性的理论框架,为规划转型提供了本土哲学的探索。

In accordance with the national strategic demands that ＂advancing the modernization of national governance system and governance capacity＂, the urban planning, as the policy tool, has been included in the reform of governance modernization. This paper makes an analysis of the characteristics of the mainstream in Western urban planning, considering the Western urban planning which is a subject solving city problems certainly goes with ＂the problem-orientated＂ and follows the circulation from ＂problem to new theory to new problem＂ as a whole. Influenced by Western planning theory and lacking thought about localization after reform and opening up of more than 30 years, China has been put into the circulation of ＂the problem- orientated＂ of Western planning development. This paper introduces the philosophy of Lao Zi, and establishes an integral theory framework based on ontology, epistemology, methodology and theory of human nature to resolve the predicaments in planning transformation.
