Abstract
Different sectors in China have developed different plans for a variety of purposes. Due to the lack of an overarching design for the whole planning system, inconsistencies, redundancy, and conflicts are often revealed in the process of making and implementing urban plans. From a normative perspective, multi-planning integration may help to improve the effectiveness of implementation and to resolve contradictions amongst different types of plan. Within the context of multi-planning integration, the Environmental Plan faces new challenges as well as opportunities. In this chapter, the authors examine the current status of the Environmental Plan and attempt to discern future trends in connection with multi-planning integration. They review the history of the Environmental Plan and carry out a SWOT analysis of it. They discuss the role of Environmental Plan by analysing its relationship to other plans. They take Benxi City in Liaoning Province as a case showing how an integrated Urban Environmental Master Plan is devised in practice. Finally, they offer some suggestions for future improvement.
