In recent years, it has only been upgraded to the first-class discipline with the same status as architecture, which also means that planning specialty will absorb more social and economic knowledge besides architectural theory, and its social and public policy attributes will be gradually enhanced.
This major has three origins: 1. Provided by the School of Architecture; 2. Geographical colleges; 3. Forestry colleges and universities
Architecture is a subject that needs time to accumulate.
Therefore, the really good urban planning major almost exists only in the traditional architecture strong schools-eight schools of architecture (Tongji, Tsinghua, Southeast, Tianda, Xi 'an Architecture, Chongqing University, Harbin Institute of Technology, South China University of Technology).
There are not many buildings worthy of recommendation outside the school. Nanjing University and Sun Yat-sen University are worth recommending. (both strong schools in geography)
In addition, it is said that the architecture of Hunan University is also good, and the urban planning should be ok.
Recommend two academic journals-Planner and Urban Planning. This is a periodical with high academic level of urban planning specialty. Judging from the level of papers published by various institutions and the number and level of international and domestic academic conferences, the academic status of a school's urban planning major can basically be reflected.
