本文作者由亞洲區域政治、經濟的特殊性與文化上的多樣性，以及當下逐漸浮現的全球化現象，討論規劃工作在亞洲之出路。作者認為亞洲諸國克正面臨轉型的危機，而作為一種意識形態的全球化風潮不僅引領亞洲城市爭相成為跨國資本青睞的全球城市，也使得專業者將焦點集中於全球化中跨國移動的少數族群，而忽略了仍處於貧窮線以下之廣大群眾。面對此種現實，作者認為亞洲規劃專業的出路在於：都市治理體系上對國家與地方政府角色的重整，以獲致有效率的權力分派；專業者致力於永續人類發展的努力，以追尋人類的整體繁榮昌盛取代過往對支配階級的服務；以及，開放的規劃過程、提供包含邊緣族群在內的大眾參與。還有，由有組織的市民社會以及以社區為基礎的非政府組織的共同合作，作為規劃的新方向。

　　　　　Facing with the political-economical specialty, cultural diversity, and the emergence of the globalization, the author intended to look ahead about planning in Asia. As most of the nations in Asia were iin front of crisis of transformation, and globalization, been seemed as a kind of ideology, had forced the cities in Asia competed to attract the transnational capital in order to become global city. And as the discourses and practices of urban planning used to focus on the minority of people that had much more mobility through globalization rather than the majority under poverty line, the author suggested a propect about urban planning in Asia. Firstsd of all, the reorganizationi of the role of state and local government in planning responded to the goal of effective devolution of power. Second, the efforts of the planners engaged in sustainable human developmentd, in searching of the human flourishing instead of the services for the dominants. And third, the opening of the planning process which provide the opportunities for popular participation by way of organized civic institutions and community-based NGOs.
