Abstract:
Territorial space planning (TSP) is an important tool for promoting ecological civilization in the field of spatial governance. As the core profession supporting the development of the TSP, undergraduate education in urban and rural planning is in urgent need of upgrading its knowledge system and capacity structure to meet the needs of the new era of territorial space governance. In this paper, we first analyze the trends of technological change in the TSP industry and the practical need for digital empowerment in modernizing territorial spatial governance capabilities. Then, using the example of the “Innovation Class for TSP” established by Guangdong University of Technology’s Urban and Rural Planning program, two aspects of reform are proposed: first, based on the “breadth-depth” curriculum system reconstruction rule, the breadth and depth of the knowledge matrix are transformed to form an inverted “T”-shaped curriculum system, with a wide foundation and narrow direction to promote excellence. Second, based on the inverted “T”-shaped curriculum system, public foundation courses such as “Probability Theory and Mathematical Statistics” and “Introduction to Artificial Intelligence: Science and Engineering” are added; professional theoretical courses are strengthened to support modern human-land relationship spatial coordination principles, with the addition of courses such as “Surveying and Mapping”, “Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Science”, and “Land Resource Management and Spatial Policy”; and planning practice courses are emphasized on topics such as “Analysis of high-quality development of territorial space” and “Spatial Data Analysis and Planning Applications”. The constructed Smart Empowerment Curriculum Group can serve as a decision-making reference for local colleges on how to innovate talent training models and teaching team construction for the TSP.
