Item Open Access Comparative research of spatial control in urban detailed planning in China and Germany(2008) Yin, Chengzhi; Pesch, Franz (Prof. Dr. -Ing)China is in a process of high-speed urbanization and industrialization which leads to increasingly serious environmental, cultural, and urban problems. Most of the existing problems are related with the spatial control factors in the urban detailed planning. Through a comparative research of spatial control in urban detailed planning in China and Germany, the dissertation is intended to identify the limitations of the Chinese regulatory planning and present a solution to the existing problems. First of all, the dissertation has introduced the German and Chinese planning systems as the general background. On this basis, there is a summary on the German B-planning and the Chinese regulatory planning which identifies the role, content, preparation, and implementation of each detailed planning type in their respective planning system. This work has initially established the comparability of the research and provides the basic information. Secondly, referring to the key themes suggested by the United Nations Commission of Sustainable Development (UNCSD) and the developmental objectives of the 11th National Five-Year Plan of China, the dissertation has created the general framework of the comparative research, which is based on the concept of sustainable development. In addition, a coding method has been developed under the framework. Thirdly, as the initial part of the comparative research, the dissertation has compared the spatial control goals of both detailed planning types. From then on, the qualitative and quantitative methods have been applied to implement the comparative research of spatial control in urban detailed planning in China and Germany, which includes both theoretical analysis and case studies. Finally, the dissertation has elaborated the distinguishing features of the German B-plan and the Chinese regulatory plan. According to comprehensive and systematic comparative research, the spatial control limitations of the Chinese regulatory planning have been identified and presented. Therefore, based on the limitations, the innovative proposals, which include optimizing the regulatory planning system, reconstructing the control goals, establishing a new control system, as well as establishing the new plan structure, have been proposed. The main conclusions of the dissertation are: Although the descriptions of the economic and environmental control goals in the Chinese planning system are not as detailed as those in the German system, the spatial control goals of the Chinese urban planning are similar to those of the German urban planning. Both are intended to realize the sustainable urban development. Although there is a comprehensive definition for sustainable development in the Chinese planning system, in practice, only general greening requirements, such as the minimum limits of greening rates, are regulated. The theoretical spatial control factors of the B-planning are completely applied to the planning practice, while the theoretical spatial control factors of the regulatory planning are only partially applied to the planning practice. No matter in theory or in practice, the overall spatial control capability of the regulatory plan is weaker than that of the B-plan. The distinctions concentrate particularly on the gaps in urban design control, and ecological and environmental control. The fundamental problem of the regulatory planning is that there is no developed mechanism that can safeguard the public interest and reflect the theoretical planning goals. The limitations of the regulatory planning control system and relevant measures reflect this fundamental problem. The spatial control capabilities of the optimized regulatory plan model are equivalent to those of the B-plan.
