Why do you choose to conduct this cross-national comparative research between Britain and China?

What are the main findings of your research?

Could you introduce more about the public participation issues in China?

You defined a clear boundary between the neo-liberal and New Labour eras in the UK, do you think the differences so significant?

Why do you use the case study? How did you choose these two cases?

How did you consider the methodologies? Why do you use these methods?

Why you use “neighbourhood renewal” rather than “urban renewal”? Are there any differences between “renewal” and “regeneration”?

For the most recent changes of Chinese neighbourhood renewal policy and practice, what are the reasons for the changes?

What are the limitations of your research?

Do you have any ideas for future research to overcome the pities left in this research?

Hampden Park in Glasgow is Scotland's national stadium. Hampden was built in 1903, though all signs of the original stadium are long gone. It is known throughout the world as an iconic home of football and celebrated its centenary on 31 October 2003. The stadium also houses the offices of the Scottish Football Association, SPL and Scottish Football League. During the 2012 Olympics it will also host games during the early stages of the Olympic football tournament. It has also hosted prestigious sporting events such as the finals of the European Cup (now the UEFA Champions League) and the UEFA Cup.

Hampden will be the key stadium of the 2014 Commonwealth Games. It will host the athletics during the tournament, Glasgow having been announced as the host city on 9 November 2007.

Hampden Park hosted the 1960 European Cup final between Real Madrid and Eintracht Frankfurt, where over 130,000 people watched Real Madrid win 7-3. The 1976 final was also held at Hampden, when FC Bayern Munich defeated AS Saint-Etienne. Real Madrid were again victorious when Hampden Park hosted the final of the UEFA Champions League in 2002, defeating Bayer Leverkusen, aided by Zinedine Zidane's legendary "wonder goal". Hampden Park also hosted the 2007 UEFA Cup Final on 16 May when Sevilla defeated Espanyol to retain the trophy. It also held famous wins for the Scotland national football team, such as the 1-0 wins over Netherlands in November 2003, and against France in October 2006. One of the most exciting Scottish Cup Finals in history commenced at Hampden on 4 May 2002 as Rangers defeated Celtic 3-2 with a last-minute diving header from Peter Løvenkrands. Diego Maradona made his international debut at Hampden Park and scored.

英国是个高度城市化多年的国家，因此当前和未来的建设量不会很大，全面建设时期早已过去。其次当下英国在城市发展中还是以市场经济为主导，政府干预是作为对市场行为的回应而不是预先控制。在这两个前提理念下，曾经盛行的蓝图式规划已越来越无法适应实际情况的需要，必须做出制度上的调整。

因此，在当下地方政府制订local plan的时候，总体而言文本相当简练，一般只提出一些框架性的原则、方向，强调总体协调，而只在少数未来可能进行重要建设的区域，比如旧城更新区等，制订一些类似图则性质的规定。这样的规划一般5年或10年制订一次，中间一般没有“修编”，因为确实用不着。

这样在政府审批development application的时候，往往local plan的规定尚不足以详细的指导具体建设活动，因此很多情况就需要审批者来进行判断。所以一般而言，英国规划局里面批申请的人被称为planner，而非那些“编制规划”的人。另外这样也会避免出现建设项目受到“过时规划”的限制，因为建设的时候当时当地的情况可能和制订规划时候有所不同，所以需要灵活处理。我想“总是过时的总体规划”这一问题在中国是非常普遍的，前日看麦贤敏同学的论文还专门提到过。

至于审批中的论证，这我想决定权还是规划局planner手中，但这一般只是一些小打小闹的项目。至于影响到周边的项目，我想我前文提到过，需要附上相关利益涉及者的意见书，大的项目还可能收归上级政府进行更大范围的公众参与，而且申请人和其他相关人都可以对审批结果进行appeal，而且在规划局有专门处理appeal的部门，保证上诉后的申请是由另外一拨人来处理。如此这些，基本构成了一个博弈的局面吧。所以这样还构成了英国的地方规划局往往机构庞大，像爱丁堡这样的城市就有上百雇员，而不存在“规划院”这种类似的机构。
