Lithuania is not the only country where public contribution to urban planning and urban design processes is highly procedural and formalistic. Unidirectional and inflexible cooperation between participants of urban planning activities is common in various countries. Cross-purposes and conflict situations once boosted emergence of innovative and effective methods for decision making in urban planning processes in developed countries. Now it’s time to learn from these examples and creatively adopt them for purposes of long-term optimization of our national urban planning system. Paper describes some marginal activities in urban planning and design processes and disputes a growing impact of public participation in development of cities and urban regions.

The article substantiates the relevance and expediency of prolonging the study of the processes of strategic, detailed and current planning of large, typologically differentiated forms of urbanization, as well as the implementation of urban planning documentation in the most developed countries of Northern Europe. The article presents the results of studying the specifics and trends of the formation, development and functioning of the system of spatial strategizing and urban planning and design in the Kingdom of Norway: its institutional, paradigm, technological and organizational components. It is shown that the significant differences between the Norwegian system of urban planning of large urbanized territories and its Danish, Swedish, and Finnish counterparts are due, on the one hand, to the national specifics of urban planning, and, on the other, to the relative independence of the spatial organization of the environment of Norway, a partner of the European Union, from the urban planning standards established for its members. It is noted that the basic trend of improving the system of long-term, medium-term, short-term and current planning in the Kingdom of Norway today is the achievement and approval of the parity of regional and municipal planning. It contributes to the "transparency"; predictability, humanistic socio-environmental orientation of urban planning policy implemented in this country, as well as initiates the search for various forms and increases the effectiveness of public participation in the processes of formation and implementation of urban planning decisions. The results of the study can serve as information-theoretical and methodological support for spatial strategizing and urban planning of priority and border geostrategic territories of Russia, which have long been part of the "Baltic Sea Civilization".

Informed by the deliberate work of advocates to address the positioning of community voices as subaltern, the last three decades have seen a growing push for alternative approaches to urban planning. In order to foster the culturally competent use and development of public space in the United States, urban planning education must include a focus on the centrality and persistence of racist ideologies and the current fueling of anti-immigrant sentiments that challenge the idea of who “belongs” in communities. Even planners informed by critical theories of participatory practice face challenges working within systems based on positivist and Western-dominant epistemologies. In this article, the authors present three examples of how typically invisibilized voices in communities can be centered in urban planning and design processes, with the goal of informing and expanding preparatory curricula in more culturally sustaining ways. Specifically, the authors employ the concept of counternarratives from critical race theory to present perspectives that challenge dominant practices and understandings. The counterstories presented here document ways that activists of color have involved community members in documenting their experiences in public spaces and used these insights to promote change. The authors apply an asset-oriented perspective that aims to incorporate overlooked sources of knowledge and expertise in communities in order to imagine new possibilities and futures in shared urban spaces by changing planning processes.

With the increasing urbanization and the expansion of the city these years, the urban stormwater flood emerge frequently in all major cities in China and cause a huge casualties and property losses. Discuss the ideas and measures of prevention and control of urban stormwater flood by analysis the reason of the formation. Set up the concepts of stormwater resources not only to give priority to the emissions ideas. Bring the ideas of discussing the problem of stormwater resources from the aspect of innovation of rural and urban planning and design system. According to the comprehensive utilization of urban stormwater and emissions which each link specific characteristics, the author tried to establish an innovative of urban planning and design system to cope with the current situation which urban rainwater flooding frequently.
