旧城整体改建规划涉及面广、难度大，尤其在当前经济转轨期间，更触及众多矛盾．为使规划确实起到指导实践，规划人员不仅要制定合理的规划设计方案，还必须同时重视研究实现规划目标的政策、步骤与方法。本文以“汕头市旧城改建规划”为例，对在实践中尝试并有效的工作方法作了初步总结。 The overall reconstruction plan of the old city involved a wide range of difficulties, especially in the current economic transition, it touched many contradictions. In order for planning to really play a guiding role, planners must not only formulate reasonable planning and design plans, but must also pay attention to the policies, procedures, and methods for achieving the planning goals. In this paper, we take the example of “Rebuilding the Old City of Shantou City” as an example to make a preliminary summary of the working methods that have been tried and worked in practice.
