“Competition of Urban Design Course Works of Undergraduate Students Specialized in Urban Planning”is the highest-level，most standardized，and most recognized national design competition for urban and rural planning major. With the award-winning list of the competition from 2005 to 2019 as samples，according to the key time nodes of the development of urban design，this paper divides the competition process into three stages: early stage，middle stage and late stage，and conducts the statistical analysis and cross analysis of the overall award-winning situation，the characteristics of the geographical distribution and type of the award-winning institutions，as well as the characteristics of the theme of design competition and the award-winning works，to grasp its development trends as a whole. Based on the analysis results，it is believed that urban design teaching in China should be further explored from the following four aspects: adhering to the teaching concept of openness, integration and co-promotion; constructing the teaching content of “urban spatial morphology design +”; adopting design teaching method integrated into research; establishing diversified teaching results evaluation method.
