During the 30 years after Opening-Up, urban planning theories in China are mainly developed to address to economic growth, regional competitiveness and demands upgrading. With the change of conditions for urban development, urban planning theories in transitional China should be analyzed and further developed from the perspectives of transitional development demands, social governance, urban divide solutions and the planning system transformation.
