以往的研究已经发现了在规划和设计阶段投资高质量城市公园的障碍，特别是注意到规划工具的无效，投资城市绿地的政治意愿较低以及治理运行的制约。在投资规划和设计阶段，对影响城市公园质量的因素进行了调查，采访了在中国各地城市规划和景观项目中担任地方政府顾问的技术专业人员。本文确定了塑造中国高质量城市公园规划和设计的一系列主题特征：在当代规划背景下对定量指标的依赖；地方投资城市公园的政治意愿、地方领导的威望和地方管理者对治理运作的热情之间的联系；地方管理人员具备与专业技术人员沟通的知识和有效性。
ABSTRACT Previous studies have identified barriers to investment in good quality urban parks during the planning and design stage, particularly noting the ineffectiveness of planning instruments, a low political will to invest in urban green spaces and constraints in governance operation. The factors that influence the quality of urban parks in the planning and design stages of investment were investigated through interviews with technical professionals who have acted as consultants to local government across China on urban planning and landscape projects. A set of thematic characteristics were identified as shaping the planning and design of good quality urban parks in China: the reliance on quantitative metrics in the contemporary planning context; the linkage between local political will to invest in urban parks, local leaders’ prestige and local administrators’ enthusiasm in governance operation; and local administrators’ equipment with knowledge and effectiveness in communicating with technical professionals.
