The real meaning of multi-plan integration is to put multiple plans in one framework for coordinated operation, within which city comprehensive planning should be more strategy-oriented and be considered together with other plans, such as spatial development at the city-region level and structural management at the city and township levels.展开更多

文摘At the moment when many Chinese cities are undertaking the tasks of compiling new city comprehensive planning and carrying out the pilot work of multi-plan integration, this paper analyzes the relationship between the two tasks, and then reviews the role and contents, as well as the procedure of formulation, examination and approval of city comprehensive planning.
