Abstract:

The two model laws in 1920s, A Standard State Zoning Enabling Act and A Standard City Planning Enabling Act, shaped the landscape of the US planning institution. Comparing with the Chinese planning laws, they provided more detailed procedural regulations,
enabled more participation of stakeholders and the general public, and designed more institutional tools for planning implementation. By conducting content analysis of the two model laws and comparing their institutional designs with the Chinese counterparts, this paper draws conclusions and policy recommendations for the Chinese planning reform.
