Strategic Urban Planning for Better City Future — A Case Study of Hong Kong Metroplan

Abstract:

The strategic urban planning theory and practice appears at the end of the 20^th century, which primarily attempts to solve the downtown problems such as economy depression, traffic inconvenient and Infrastructure shortage. This paper takes Hong Kong Metroplan as example in the view of historical and empirical study to analyze the purpose, function and process of strategic urban planning, which refers to several issues such as land-use planning, environmental planning, urban planning review and public participation. It sums up the experience of strategic urban planning in Hong Kong to provide the reference for present rapid urbanization in China.
