秋光绚丽，金风送爽。在美丽的收获时节，2018首届郑州国际城市设计大会于9月18日-21日在河南省郑州市郑东新区隆重召开，来自世界各地的近3000多名专家、学者及其他与会者就国际城市设计发展理论前沿、中国城市设计发展与专业实践等展开高层次学术研讨。经与会代表共同商议，初步形成具有中国特色的《城市设计郑东共识2018》，主要包括以下五项共识。
In this golden autumn, the First Zhengzhou International Urban Design Conference is held in Zhengdong New District, Zhengzhou City, Henan Province, from 18th to 21st September, 2018. Nearly 3,000 experts, scholars and other participants from all over the world are attending this great event to have a high level academic discussion on the leading-edge global urban design development theories as well as China urban design development and professional practice. By discussion among the participants, Zhengdong Consensus on Urban Design was basically reached, which with Chinese characteristics and includes the consensus from the following five perspectives:
共识一 宗旨：坚持人民城市为人民的发展宗旨
I. TENET: INSISTING ON THE DEVELOPMENT TENET OF CITIES FOR ALL
城市设计是一个关乎城市人居环境品质和空间场所营造的专业领域。一座为人民设计的城市，“要融入让群众生活更舒适的理念，体现在每一个细节中”。体现人们在城市中的公共利益及需求，体现城市的定位、公共性和识别性。城市设计应该创造多元、丰富、充满活力的城市空间；城市设计应该提供充足、齐全、便利的公共服务设施；城市设计应该营造美丽、有序、充满诗意的家园。
The urban design is a professional field that focuses on the quality of urban human habitat environment and space creation in cities. A city designed for all should involve the idea of more comfortable life for the people, shown on every single detail. In this way, people’s public interests and demands in the city, city’s property, publicity and identity can be represented. The urban design should create a diversified and abundant urban space filled with vitality, provides sufficient, complete and convenient public service facilities for the public, and creates a beautiful, orderly and poetic homeland.
共识二 视野：关注整体设计的全局视野
II. METHODOLOGY: FOCUSING ON THE OVERALL VISION OF INTEGRATED DESIGN
城市设计从城市整体认知、要素广泛联系、空间动态演进的观点出发建立其方法论，需要具备系统的全局视野。从专业与行业发展来看，城市设计可以成为建筑设计、城乡规划、风景园林设计和其他专业设计的共同平台，并可能形成新的综合学科；从建设与运营来看，城市设计可以打破现有管理体制的条块分割，积极促进不同规划阶段、不同专业实践、不同管理部门之间的协同与创新，成为实施公共政策的工具，形成政府管理与市场调节两种基本制度相结合的实施机制；从城市利益攸关方来看，城市设计可以提高民众、政府和社会各界的参与度，搭建利益共享与互动交流平台，形成整合经济价值、空间结构、人文关怀、文化价值和生态效益等要素的城市设计评价标准。
The methodology of urban design is formed with urban integrated cognition, element wide connection and space dynamic evolvement, requiring an overall and systematic vision. From the perspective of discipline and industry, the urban design can function as a common platform for architectural design, urban and rural planning, landscaping design and other professional designs, which is highly likely to create a comprehensive discipline; from the perspective of construction and operation, urban design can make breakthrough in the existing segmentation of the current management system, actively promote coordination and innovation among different planning phrases, different professional practice and different management departments, and becomes a tool implementing public polices, forming an implementing mechanism combined by two basic systems--government management and market regulation; from the perspective of participants with related interests, the urban design can enhance the involvement of the public, government and social all circles, build up a platform of interest sharing and mutual communication, and form an urban design evaluation standard of integrated elements such as economic value, space structure, humanistic care, cultural value and ecological benefit.
共识三 实践：倡导实现美好人居的多层面实践
III. PRACTICE: ADVOCATING DIVERSIFIED PRACTICE IN REALIZING BEAUTIFUL HUMAN HABITAT
城市设计倡导在文化传承、绿色发展和科技创新等多层面的积极探索，是一个动态的实践过程。城市设计“要像爱惜自己的生命一样保护好城市历史文化遗产”，通过汲取传统营城经验和本土文化基因，让乡愁在社会变迁中得到保留与铭记，文化在设计实践中得到传承与延续。城市设计“要以自然为美，把好山好水好风光融入城市”，将其应用扩展到城乡融合和区域发展的更广阔城镇化进程中，让绿色发展理念和可持续技术应用在设计实践中变得自然而然。城市设计展现可感知未来的理念与技术，健康、共享、智慧的建设理念及其各种新兴技术在实践中获得广泛应用。
Urban design, proposing active exploration in cultural inherit, green development, science and technology innovation, is a dynamic practicing process. In this sense, urban design should protect urban historical and cultural heritages like cherishing its own life, drawing on the experience of traditional urban operation and local cultural genes, so that nostalgia is preserved and memorized in social vicissitudes, while culture is inherited and continued in design practice. Urban design, where nature is beauty, involving good mountains, good water and good view into the city, should be expanded in the wider urbanization process of urban and rural integration and regional development. Development philosophy, and sustainable technological application becomes an integrated part of design practice. Urban design demonstrates forward-looking conceptions and technologies, with broad application of healthy, shared and intelligent construction conceptions and various emerging technologies.
共识四 教育：亟需跨界融合的学科建设与人才队伍
IV. EDUCATION: URGENTLY REQUIRING FUSED CROSS-BORDER DISCIPLINE CONSTRUTION AND TALENTS
城市设计亟需多学科融合的学科建设，需要跨专业的知识、能力、素养兼备的城市设计人才队伍。需要大批具备城市设计专业知识的建筑、规划、景观和经济、地理、社会等专业人才；需要大量与城市设计专业教育相关的建筑院校、教师队伍、专门教材；还需要相应的具有城市设计专业知识的城市管理人才；城市设计更需要在整个行业和全社会传播其理念的专门人才。
Urban design urgently requires the discipline construction of multi-discipline fusion, as well as urban design talents who possess cross-profession knowledge, ability and accomplishment; urban design requires a large number of architectural, planning, landscaping, economics, geography and social talents with urban design professional knowledge; urban design requires plenty of architecture schools, teachers and professional textbooks that are related to urban design education; urban design also requires urban management talents with certain urban design professional knowledge; urban design requires specific talents to advocate the concept of urban design in the entire industry and the whole society even more.
共识五 使命：迎接新时代赋予的历史机遇与光荣使命
V. MISSION: GREETING THE HISTORIC OPPORTUNITY AND GLORIOUS MISSION ENDOWED BY THE NEW TIMES
今天，中国城市建设进入新时代，从政策导向、行业整合与建设转型都成为城市设计面临的全新课题；“美丽中国”的发展目标给城市设计带来了空前的发展机遇；“人民日益增长的美好生活需要和不平衡不充分的发展之间的矛盾”给城市设计带来了巨大挑战。“规划科学是最大的效益，规划失误是最大的浪费，规划折腾是最大的忌讳，”城市设计与城市规划一样。我们应该抓住历史机遇，迎接空前挑战，直面时代课题，提出中国方案！
Nowadays, urban construction in China has entered into a new era, with policy orientation, industrial integration and construction transformation becoming brand new tasks for urban design. The development objective of “Beautiful China” has brought about unprecedented development opportunities to urban design; nevertheless, “The Contradiction between the Growing Needs of the People for Good Life and the Unbalanced and Inadequate Development” has also brought about great challenges to urban design. Urban design and urban planning are the same, planning science bringing maximum benefit, planning error causing greatest waste, and planning self-inflicted setback is the biggest taboo. We should seize this historic opportunity, rise to the unprecedented challenges, confront the tasks of the times and bring up the China proposal.
我们任重道远！
We’re shouldering heavy responsibilities.
我们不辱使命！
We should accomplish our mission.
“宗旨、视野、实践、教育、使命”五项共识，就是《城市设计郑东共识》的核心观点。我们呼吁有识之士行动起来，为中国城市设计的明天贡献力量！￭
“Tenet, Methodology, Practice, Education and Mission” are the core concepts of Zhengdong Consensus on Urban Design. We appeal that people of insights should take action to make contributions for the future of urban design in China.
