What should master plans be like

according to the Act?

Made by the local governments and approved

by higher level of governments.

Local governments have no right to make the

final decisions, but they have to implement the

plans unconditionally

Master plans should consider long-term

Master plans have too many things to think

about

In short, a tool of Central Government

What are Chinese local

governments like

Provider of public goods, such as

education, healthcare, public

transportation, etc.

More than above, Local

governments are like mega-

enterprises

Cities have been becoming the

machines creating fortunes

the first and chief aim of planning

must be to oil the machinery（Hall, 1996）

Then, what kind of master plans

local governments want

Flexible

Short-term rather than long-term

Good to land selling

Image-promotion

Instructive: where to develop, how to

develop

BE A VOICE, NOT AN ECHO

What has Guangzhou done in

master plan?

Strategic plan of Guangzhou(2000-2010), the first one in

Mainland

From Strategic plan to master plan

Based on strategic plan, master plan was made

according to Planning Act and relevant

regulations within 4 years

The master plan was approved by the state

council on 22 Dec, 2005.[国函〔2005〕105 号]

战略规划指导下的总规方案

Master Plan is important, but not enough

We need to plan more details, so several plans

on one place based on master plan

Which one can be guidelines of development?

Relationship between master plan

and regulatory plan

Regulatory plans are mandatory for urban construction according to the newly issued Planning Act

But the task of making them is very pressing, should be finished in this year covering 7,000km2

Meanwhile, the master plan won’t be unfinished by this year

Solution?

If we want to build

Hospital, school, factory, office building……

We don’t know where to build, how to build

So we need more plans

In other word, master plan cannot direct the construction activities

directly

Some comments

Master plan is more complex than we can see from the laws and regulations literally.

The emergence of strategic plan embodies the complexity of master plan

Once the strategic plan is approved by the local

government, all the plans should comply with it

Balance?

Market:

Land Control

Planning, the leading role?
