About to RPMI 2026
The 2026 International Conference on Urban and Rural Planning and Management Innovation (RPMI 2026) will take place in Nanjing, China. It focuses on planning strategies and management approaches for coordinated urban and rural development. Research topics include urban planning, rural planning, spatial governance, land use, community development, regional planning, urban renewal, rural revitalization, public facilities, transportation planning, ecological planning, smart planning, planning policy and spatial data analysis. Contributions may examine planning theory, digital tools, participatory governance and practical cases of urban-rural transformation. The conference encourages discussion of how planning systems can respond to population changes, environmental constraints and new economic patterns. Researchers, planners, architects and public management professionals are invited to exchange methodologies and project experiences. Nanjing's combination of historical urban fabric, expanding metropolitan functions and surrounding rural areas provides a diverse setting for exploring planning innovation and urban-rural coordination.
