Abstract
Considered as core values of urban planning, public participation and community planning are two of the most important fields in the West. Informal development is prevalent in Asian developing countries, and as a bottom-up effort by urban residents, it is commended and supporte by many Western planners. Shall planners in Asian developing countries identify with such practices? This paper provides three cases of informal development from Vietnam, Indonesia and China respectively, and demonstrates that planning theories are not necessarily universally true. Urban planning is local, not international. We should not follow Western planning theories in our planning practice without knowing their contexts. It is probably urgent to develop our own planning theories given the rapid urbanization that has been experienced in this region.关键词
