Urban and rural planning tends to be multi-disciplinary, multi-level and multi-field. The planner should be integrated with humanities quality, professional morality and engineering practice to meet the social needs and has solid basic theories, strong social responsibilities, correct values, and practical and innovative abilities. I analyzed existing problems in urban and rural planning education, such as lacking humanities quality education, professional moral fallen, poor engineering practice ability, abnormality of outlook on life, and values deformity. Based on discussion of the connotation of humanities quality, professional morality and engineering practice, I proposed a MHP-CDIO teaching mode of urban and rural planning with the reference of international engineering education reform efforts, and analyzed the goal, design, implementation approaches and specific operations of the teaching mode.
