Abstract This study aims to explore the formation and application of urban planning discourse during China’s the Republican era. Historically, the era refers to the period when the Republic of China ruled the mainland China from January 1912 until 1949 establishment of the People's Republic of China. During this time, great changes occurred in Chinese cities, and in the process, Western urban systems and knowledge were rapidly spread. Even though nationwide systems were not set up, newly-emerged urban governance, legal system, and urban theory had a deep impact on the planning of Chinese cities. In order to better understand the urban planning during China’s Republican era, this study tries to focus on the relationship between the discourse formation and implementation process, which created the Chinese characteristics in urbanization. By this way, this research can help to figure out the current urbanization of China.
