It emphasizes that, developing as an applied discipline, the urban-rural planning discipline should strengthen the production of its own disciplinary knowledge based on the comprehensive use of various relevant disciplinary knowledge, and proposes corresponding paths, means, and basic issues of knowledge production. The paper also points out that the output of the knowledge and achievements of China's urban-rural planning discipline to other disciplines and other countries is an important foundation for the further development of this discipline.展开更多
