Urban Planning and Community Planning

Abstract

Urban planning and community planning are two different concepts, however there exist some relations between them. Urban planning is substantially a kind of spatial planning and it pays great attention to the macroscopic economic benefits. While the nature of community planning is a kind of social planning which take into consideration the microcosmic social benefits. They both fall into the same continuous "decision-make to practice" entities and they have overlapping parts on the planning content. Meanwhile, they condition each other even conflict acutely. On the planning technique, the two have communicated points, and now both of them find themselves in a same tight corner.
