Description
Guangzhou was the Chinese city where the first large-scale urban re-structuring attempt was made by the Nationalist Government to transform it from a pre-modern, walled city into a modern metropolis in the early-twentieth century. The municipal government of Guangzhou consistently embraced a rational planning approach, adapted from contemporary European and American planning models, to guide and regulate city building activities driven by new urban functions of the time. While these early endeavors laid a foundation for Chinese city planning in the modern era, to date very little has been researched on the origin and achievements of these endeavors. This study examines the beginning of modern city planning in Guangzhou, the establishment of its framework, its progressive implementation, and its physical outcome.
