圍繞《江蘇省城鎮體系規劃2001—2020》及其后續工作,回顧了20世紀末江蘇開展區域性規劃實踐探索的時代背景、機遇挑戰、應對策略以及實施成效。并以此為借鑒,探討我國區域性規劃發展應當關注的若干原則。本文認為,規劃工作要緊跟經濟社會發展需求,以人民利益為中心,把市場導向和政策導向相結合,及時調整完善;區域性規劃在發展轉型期更為重要,更能夠和應該發揮宏觀調控作用;區域性規劃是黨和政府治國理政的重要工具,要加強公共政策屬性,把握重大問題,作出戰略決策;區域性規劃涉及面廣、內涵豐富、關系復雜,應當重視科學手段,加強科學決策。

Centered on the Urban System Planning of Jiangsu Province（2001-2020） and its follow-up work, this paper reviews the historical background, opportunities and challenges, coping strategies, and implementation effects of Jiangsu’s regional planning practice at the end of the 20thcentury. Taking this as reference, the paper discusses the principles that should be paid attention to in the development of regional planning in China. The paper holds that the planning work should closely follow the socio-economic development requirements, focus on the interests of the people, combine market orientation with policy orientation, and make adjustment and improvement in a timely manner. Regional planning is more important in the transitional period of development and should play a better role of macro-economic control. Regional planning is an important tool for the Party and the government to govern the country, so it is necessary to strengthen its attribute as a public policy, grasp major issues, and make strategic decisions. Regional planning involves a wide range of issues and has rich connotations and complex relationships, so importance should be attached to adopting scientific measures and strengthening scientific decisionmaking.
