The book explores the significance of Five-Year Planning (FYP) in shaping socio-economic and spatial development in post-reform China, highlighting its legacy from the socialist state. It addresses the gap in research regarding the interplay between FYP and spatial elements in regulatory practices. Through a conceptual framework and case studies at varying spatial scales, it employs qualitative and quantitative methods to analyze stakeholders, institutions, and planning mechanisms, ultimately assessing the effectiveness of spatial planning in addressing governance challenges in urban and regional contexts.
