城市病是随着工业化、城市化进程出现的,已经成为国内外城市发展普遍存在的难题。城市规划和管理是防治城市病的主要途径之一。国外发达国家城市病的主要表现为人口膨胀,城市不堪重负;城市人口贫困失业、居住条件恶劣;交通拥堵,生活质量下降;环境污染,资源短缺;社会冲突、犯罪活动、政治腐败现象加剧;城市无序蔓延,发展失控等方面。针对以上问题,国外从城市规划和管理层面出发,进行了很多的尝试,积累了很多宝贵经验,通过借鉴美、英、日等发达国家治理城市病的规划应对思路,对我国的城市规划管理有很好的启发,今后应更新城市发展理念,加强城市规划编制的科学性与权威性,重视交通规划对城市发展的引导,积极推进各项规划的协调与对接,缩短规划审批周期,严格保障规划的顺利实施。这些规划思路的落实,对于我国防治城市病,推进城市健康发展具有十分重要的意义。
World-widely, it is a common phenomenon that with the process of industrialization and urbanization, various urban problems (or the so-called“urban disease”) emerged and became the obstacles of further development. A key way to deal with urban problems is urban planning and management. The main symptoms of urban diseases in developed countries include population expan-sion, poor dwelling, traffic congestion, environment pollution, social con-flicts, and urban sprawl. So far a lot of theories and concepts have been pro-posed from urban planning and management perspectives and practiced, the expe-riences of which become valuable know-how for China. Lessons from the USA, UK, Japan and other developed countries suggested that, we should renew the very basic concept and purpose of urban development, strengthen the rationality and authority of urban planning, emphasize on the important influence of trans-portation infrastructures on the formation of urban structures, improve the coordination of different planning schemes, shorten the planning approval cy-cle and ensure planning implementation.
