【摘要】通过分析城市规划的西方历史和中国现
实,揭示 了其中共同存在的 “理性吊诡”,即工
具理性膨胀发展造成的价值理性模糊。试图通过
引入中国传统的中庸哲学,在两种理性之间架设
联 系的桥 梁,破解 中国城市规划理性 吊诡的难
题。首先,详细介绍 了中庸 “中”与 “和”的基
本思想,论证 了 “中”与 “和”结合的 “中和”
思想实现 了手段和 目标的统一;在此基础上,进
一 步将 “用中”和 “求和”的理性引入规划领
域 ,从古代智慧与经验中树立现代城市与 自然、
城市与城市、城市中人与人 “和而不同”的价值
体 系和整观全局的方法论,并为城市规划提供适
度技术、平衡分析、过程规划、参与交流、弹性
规划等方法手段,搭建 了以 “中和”贯穿规划知
识 系统的整体理性框架。最后,根据中庸作为人
的心性修养的本质,提 出中庸理性复归和规划改
革的根 本之篆在于将 中庸理性渗入到规划教育
中,实施 “中和”教化,培养一代具有本土人文
精神的规划从业者;而作为眼前的权宜之策,提出
了将中国的 “中和”理性与西方的沟通规划理论相
结合的 “中和”沟通策略,并阐述了层次沟通、弹
性机制、动态评估、规范原则等具体方法。

ABSTRACT:By analyzing the history of Western
world and the reality in China,the paper reveals
a common problem in the two different societies
called‘‘paradox of reason”.which means the
loss of value rationality caused by the expansion
of instrumental rationality.In order to solve this
problem in the field of urban planning in China,the
way ofzhongyong in Chinese Confucian tradition,or
‘‘the doctrine of the golden mean'’.is introduced to
bridge the two different rationalities.First Of al1.the
article specifies the ideas of zhong(something like
moderation)and he(something like harmony),both
of which are the core of the zhongyong ideology,
as well as demonstrates that the idea of zhonghe
combining both zhong and he is a way leading to
the integrity of object and method.On the basis of
that,the author tries to utilize zhong and pursue he
in the field of urban planning.Enlightened by the
traditional wisdom and experience,the value system
defined by the“harmony but difference’’principle
and the methodology emphasizing on holism are
built up at such diverse levels as the relationship
between city and nature,city and city,people and
people.And a lot of methods are provided such as
appropriate technology,balance analysis,planning
as process,communication and participation,and
flexible planning.In this way,the article builds up an
integrated rationality framework of the knowledge
system in the discipline ofurban planning penetrated
by zhonghe principle.In the final part,the article
treats the essential character of zhongyong as a
kind of personal spirit,and concluded that the
essential way to revive zhongyong rationality and
to successfully reform urban planning is to integrate
zhongyong into the planning education to bring
up a new generation of professionals with local
humanism.Nevertheless,before this could be un'ned
into reality,the article suggests a temporary method,
that is,a kind of zhonghe communicative strategy
combining zhonghe rationality from the Chinese
tradition and the communicative planning theory
from the West.It also discusses viable tools such
as communicating by levels,flexibility institution,
dynamic evaluation and regulation principle.
