Abstract: This paper introduces the subject of environmentally sensitive planning and urban design in provincial China by first providing a framework for considering the topic and then reviewing the Anyang Eastern New Town Conceptual Plan prepared by the School of Planning, University of Cincinnati, within that framework. The experience of the faculty leading this project with field work, the planning process (methodology), plan preparation, and the engagement of students through a studio exercise has revealed great interest among the Chinese for creating more sustainable, livable and environmentally pleasing urban areas to address expanding urbanization and environmental pressures.
