Editor's Note: Urban and rural planning in China is undergoing profound change. Adjustments in the course of urbanization, the establishment of the territorial spatial planning system, rapid advances in digital-intelligence technologies, and increasingly diverse social needs are jointly reshaping the discipline and its educational system.

Their reflections both review past experience and look ahead to the future.
