IRSPSD aims to explore sustainable urban forms within the disciplines of regional and urban planning. Considering the impact of planning policy on spatial planning implementation, we seek to develop bodies of knowledge from original studies and promote critical debates on emerging issues and practice from researchers on an integrated multidisciplinary platform that reflects a variety of perspectives—such as economic development, social equality and equity, and ecological protection— with a holistic view of achieving sustainable urban form.

This paper will explore the (spatial) consequences of urban pressure on Shanghai’s rural fringes, focusing on the case of Chongming Eco-Island, which belongs administratively to Shanghai. The current top-down policy to transform Chongming into an Eco-Island is not yet working as promised in various policies. Via field observations, interviews with more than twenty-five stakeholders, and policy reviews, this paper explores to what extent the plans of the national government on Chongming Eco-Island are being implemented and how it is possible to steer the developments into a more sustainable direction. To be able to mitigate the negative impacts for the natural and man-made environment a transition in spatial planning and design approaches is urgently needed. For this to occur, it has to be made clear which factors can explain the process of seemingly unbridled urbanisation at Shanghai’s fringes, and which role planning processes play in this development.

Eleventh papers are published in this issue, including case studies in Algeria, China, Indonesia, Iran, South Korea, Thailand. Three papers focus on planning concepts on big data and personal information protection, residents’ sense of heritage place, assessment for ecovillage development; Two papers conduct planning analysis on socio-environmental quality, ecological footprint scenario; another two papers take traditional housing project, bus rapid transit project and smart city project as research targets. Finally, there are three papers look into the planning problems of luxurious condominium prices, shrinking cities, convenience and service access in urban areas.
