With the development of social economy, the urbanization of the world has presented a new development trend. The green, ecological, and economic city has gradually attracted people's attention. How to plan new cities and towns to coordinate economic development with nature has been the focus of domestic and foreign scholars. Based on this premise, this article elaborates the domestic and foreign research status of ecological city and puts forward a new type of green ecological civilization from the perspective of evolution of civilization. From the perspective of green ecological economy, the evolution of China's urban planning is studied in terms of the urban and rural areas, nature, pollution, industry, culture, and other aspects. To accumulate experience, green ecological planning in New York is also analyzed at multiple levels, such as urban expansion, energy, and urban water use. According to the development of our country in the past 30 years, the development strategy of urbanization suitable to China's national conditions is introduced on the basis of ecological economy. From the perspective of green ecological planning and economy, practice has proved that new urban planning is able to promote the establishment of a resource-saving society, to enhance the coordinated development of the population, resources, environment, and economy, and to comprehensively improve people's quality of life.

ResumoO principal instrumento brasileiro de regulação de uso do solo é a legislação, que ordena e regra a ocupação do território. Neste estudo objetivou-se verificar a efetividade da legislação como instrumento para regular a expansão urbana em zonas rurais.  Fez-se isso a partir de um confronto entre os resultados esperados e os efetivos da aplicação da legislação de ocupação do território para o município de Estância Velha, de 1955 a 2018. Levantou-se toda a legislação urbanística municipal, identificou-se e mapeou-se as alterações no macrozoneamento urbano-rural do município e as barreiras à expansão urbana. Avaliou-se os aumentos no perímetro urbano quanto à sua necessidade comparando-os ao contexto econômico e demográfico. Viu-se que a legislação exerceu um fator importante de ordenamento territorial, porém insuficiente, dado que ocupações com fins urbanos dentro da zona rural continuaram ocorrendo e foram pretexto para aumentos de perímetro urbano. Verificou-se que a legislação urbanística foi parcialmente efetiva e teve um papel relevante na definição de barreiras à expansão urbana; que determinados tipos de uso do solo nestes locais reforçam a legislação; e que não há garantia da permanência da condição de barreira ao longo do tempo, dada a fragilidade da proteção legal e pressões por modificações da legislação.Palavras-chave: Legislação urbanística. Expansão urbana. Urbanização de zonas rurais. Barreiras à expansão urbana. Regularização fundiária. AbstractThe aim of this study is to verify the effectiveness of laws and regulations that control urban expansion in rural areas, since they are the main Brazilian land planning instruments . Thus, we compare the expected results of the application of land use laws with the effective land occupation for the municipality of Estância Velha, in Brazil, in the period from 1955 to 2018. This paper identifies each local urban planning law, while analyzing and mapping land zoning changes between urban and rural zones, along with identified barriers to urban expansion. The increases in the urban perimeter were assessed as to their need by comparing them to the economic and demographic context. Results show that legislation is an important land planning instrument, although insufficient, given that urban land uses were still found in rural zones and were used as a pretext for urban perimeter increases. It is also shown that urban planning laws play an important - however partially effective - role related to delimiting barriers to urban expansion, despite the fact that certain types of preexisting land uses in these places reinforce such laws. Finally, it was also noted that there is no guarantee of the barrier condition lasting over time, given the fragility of legal protection and the pressures to modify it.Keywords: Urban law.

China's resource-based cities have made tremendous contributions to national and local economic growth and urban development over the last seven decades. Recently, such cities have been in transition from resource-centered development towards human-oriented urbanization to meet the requirements of long-term sustainability for the natural environment and human society. A good understanding of urban expansion and evolution as a consequence of urbanization has important implications for future urban and regional planning. Using a series of remote sensing (RS) images and geographical information system (GIS)-based spatial analyses, this research explores how a typical resource-based mining city, Datong, has expanded and evolved over the last two decades (2000–2018), with a reflection on the role of urban planning and development policies in driving the spatial transformation of Datong. The RS images were provided and processed by the Google Earth Engine (GEE) platform. Spatial cluster analysis approaches were employed to examine the spatial patterns of urban expansion. The results indicate that the area of urban construction land increased by 132.6% during the study period, mainly along with the Chengqu District, the Mining Area, and in the southeast of the Nanjiao District, where most new towns are located. Reflection on the factors that influence urban expansion shows that terrain, urban planning policies, and social economy are driving Datong’s urban development.

The Third World

In recognition of the gravity of the unemployment situation in the-Third World the Ford Foundation sponsored three international seminars to-identify the major issues of the problem. The focus of these seminars was on inter-relationship between employment and development strategy, technological change, rural development and political constraints on choice. Some of the papers presented in these seminars are collected in the book under review. Edgar O. Edwards did a commendable job of writing a summary of the papers, which he has presented in the first paper of the book. The competing demands of brevity and full coverage restricted the summary to an identification of principal issues and major recommendations for policy makers and donor agencies. The first paper is followed by Part I of the book consisting of three subject papers on: (1) Economic Development and Labour Use, (2) Technology and Employment in LDCs and (3) Economics, Institutions and Employment Generation in Rural Areas. A selection of seven papers on Generic Issues is presented in Part II of the book. Part III consists of five papers on some sectoral considerations. The last four papers, constituting Part IV of the book, describe the experiences of different countries in employment promotion and economic development.

The urban fringe, as a part of an urban spatial form, plays a considerably major role in urban expansion and shrinking. After decades of rapid development, Chinese cities have advanced from a simple expansion stage to an expansion–shrinking-coexistence stage. In urban shrinking and expansion, the urban fringe shows different characteristics and requirements for specific aspects such as urban planning, land use, urban landscape, ecological protection, and architectural form, thereby forming expanding and shrinking urban fringes. A comprehensive study of expanding and shrinking urban fringes and their patterns is theoretically significant for urban planning, land use, planning management, and ecological civilisation construction.

Global Concern

The adverse effects of rapid urbanization are of global concern. Careful planning for and accommodation of accelerating urbanization and citizenization (i.e., migrants gaining official urban residency) may be the best approach to limit some of the worst impacts. However, we find that another trajectory may be possible: one linked to the rural development plan adopted in the latest Chinese national development strategy. This plan aims to build rural areas as attractive areas for settlement by 2050 rather than to further urbanize with more people in cities. We assess the political motivations and challenges behind this choice to develop rural areas based on a literature review and empirical case analysis. After assessing the rural and urban policy subsystem, we find five socio-political drivers behind China’s rural development strategy, namely ensuring food security, promoting culture and heritage, addressing overcapacity, emphasizing environmental protection and eradicating poverty. To develop rural areas, China needs to effectively resolve three dilemmas: (1) implementing decentralized policies under central supervision; (2) deploying limited resources efficiently to achieve targets; and (3) addressing competing narratives in current policies. Involving more rural community voices, adopting multiple forms of local governance, and identifying and mitigating negative project impacts can be the starting points to manage these dilemmas.

Urban Planning And Design

With the continuous development of social economy, the expansion of cities often leads to the disorderly utilization of land resources and even waste. In view of these limitations and requirements, this paper introduces the automatic extraction algorithm of closed area boundary, combs the requirements of urban boundary extraction involved in urban planning and design, and uses the technology of geospatial analysis to carry out spatial analysis practice from three angles, so as to realize the expansion of functional analysis of urban planning and design and improve the efficiency and rationality of urban planning. The simulation results show that the automatic extraction algorithm of closed area boundary is effective and can support the functional analysis of urban planning and design expansion.
