ABSTRACT

Erlangen was once a US military base in Germany, but had been transformed into a world-renowned ecological city through scientific eco-city planning and urban management. This thesis introduces the history and current situation of the city, analyses the existing problems, and compares the urban planning concepts of Germany and China. It concludes that eco-city development is an inevitable choice for urban areas. Secondly, the paper focuses on the three strategies that were implemented in Erlangen: rational land use planning, promotion of low-carbon green transport, and ecological recycling. Thirdly, it analyses the successful experience and challenges faced by Erlangen, and presents critical thinking. Finally, this paper analyses the impact of the successful experience of Erlangen on the planning and management of ecological cities in China. It covers topics such as sustainable land use patterns, the development of a sustainable economy, public transport, innovation in planning procedures, and public participation. The paper concludes by offering practical suggestions for the future construction, planning, and management of ecological cities in China.
