Abstract
The new urbanization in China has highlighted the significance of developing rural areas and planning for the urbanization of the countryside. A single rural settlement, although small, is widely influenced by policies on planning and construction, along with such factors as political, land, capital, labor, and technological resources. Rural areas are substantially inhibited from sustainable development by the competition for resources between urban and rural areas, lack of clear administrative responsibilities for social governance in townships and villages, continuous environmental deterioration, and socio-cultural structural change and destruction. The current awkward situation can be attributed to the lack of due consideration for rural planning in the past. In the current transitional period of planning and management under a legal framework, rural planning has been given more attention than ever. However, legislation and law enforcement remain daunting.
