Abstract: The paper outlined the course of urban eco-planning evolution and its prospect in the future. Since 19th century, the theory and method of urban eco-planning had grown up gradually with the planning practices, from E.Howard’s "Garden Cities" to MacHarg’s eco-planning of land utilization, and to the urban ecological decision planning based on the ecosystem theory. The acceleration of global-scale urbanization had resulted in great problems of our ecological environment and the urban ecological planning had become more and more important to sustainable development in urban areas. The urban eco-planning must advance towards eco-city.
