The second part mainly summarizes and analyzes current situation of district reconstruction in China and points out several problems in Wenchuan and Ya'an city. The third part contains a series of improvement approaches in reconstruction planning. The paper applies new methods as well as new technology applications on reconstruction planning, such as: comparative analysis; a combination of empirical and standard analysis; urban post-disaster design; planning assessment; shelter design. post-disasters reconstruction improvement derives from the empirical analysis on preceding research, which is considered not only to make a significant contribution to urban recover but the efficient approach to impulse the national innovation.
