Abstract

New city construction in metropolitan suburbs is an important step in optimizing the metropolitan spatial structure, an effective way to remit widespread urban diseases, and a concrete way to promote the integration of urban and rural areas. This paper summarizes the main features of the third-generation new city construction in Shanghai, analyses the problems and deficiencies in conceptual intentions, presents ideas about planning and development practices, and gain some experience and implications. The results show that (1) a poorly defined ideological definition is the root cause of operational errors; (2) planning errors are the reason why new cities have a weak ‘anti-magnetic-force’ to attract industries and population from urban central areas; (3) the deviation of development practices is the main reason for the weakened effect of new city construction and (4) new city or new town planning and construction is a long-term and slow process of development. The thesis gives us some suggestions and countermeasures to solve these problems.
