This chapter explores the integration of humanistic planning concepts into Chinese eco-city development, focusing on the theoretical frameworks of Ecological Urbanism, Garden City, and Environmental Psychology. It examines the people-oriented approach in urban planning, emphasizing the importance of understanding people's needs and behaviors in creating sustainable and liveable cities. The chapter also discusses the historical context and evolution of these planning theories, highlighting their relevance to contemporary urbanization challenges. Additionally, it delves into the practical applications of these theories in eco-city projects, providing insights into how they can be applied to promote sustainable urban development. The text concludes by emphasizing the need for a holistic and interdisciplinary approach to urban planning, integrating ecological, social, and economic dimensions to create cities that prioritize sustainability, resilience, and liveability.
