Essentials of Practical Planning Formulation for Villages on the Fringe of Large Cities Under the Territorial and Spatial Planning: A Case Study of Wuhan Donghu Hi-Tech Development Zone

Village planning is a type of detailed planning in the territorial and spatial planning system which consists of planning of three types (i.e.,master planning,detailed planning,and sectoral planning) at five levels (i.e.,state,province,city,county,and town/township),undertaking the statutory mission of resource element control and construction activity implementation in rural areas.Villages on the fringe of large cities are influenced by both urban and rural development due to their special geographical location,which has led to great difficulties in planning formulation.As a result,the results and effects of such planning have great demonstrative values.How to leverage the unique characteristics and values of these villages to solve the problems existing in the entire process from planning to construction,is a challenge in the formulation,utilization,and administration of village planning in the territorial and spatial planning system.Through a case study of the Wuhan Donghu Hi-Tech Development Zone,this paper focuses on addressing the needs of establishing a hierarchical planning content system,innovating the land use control mode,building a hierarchical approval system,and creating a categorized administrative system in the territorial and spatial master planning.Furthermore,it proposes practical strategies for village planning formulation,approval,and administration on the fringe of large cities,with the aim to provide reference for village planning in other regions.
