本项目选取近代特殊类型的地方城市重庆作为研究对象，主要着眼于研究城市社会政治经济变迁、城市行政更替与规划建设变革的关系，将规划史与社会政经史结合起来，厘清重庆本土近代城市规划及建设发展的历史过程，阐释近代城市规划形成的一般性和特殊性，为解决当今城市现状问题提供历史咨询和借鉴。具体的时段个案研究将围绕不同时期的城市行政主体在规划建设变革方面的动力、具体途径和表现形式以及规划建设内容和演变等史实，从个案内容及实施、行政主体人物的思想来源及发展两个角度出发，通过文献档案研究、信息化等技术手段进行深入的剖析。在历史变迁和个案研究基础上，通过纵横及其外延比较研究，进一步归纳总结重庆近代城市规划的发展特征、规律及影响，从而做出对历史和现实意义的客观评价。

自1840年以来，重庆历经清朝末期、蜀军政府、四川都督府、重庆府、巴县、商埠督办处、市政公所、商埠、商埠督办公署、市政厅、特别市、直辖市以及战时首都、战后陪都等执政主体和管理机构的更换，其近代城市规划建设思想、观念与实践的变迁，与上述执政主体的政治经济近代化思想紧密相连。分析这一特定城市在近代时期，对社会政治及城市规划思想的内部回应、实践探索，乃至对地方城市近代化、中国城市及规划现状形成的影响，是本课题的研究主线。. 本课题采用了内外史结合研究、案例研究和比较研究，并以实地考察、人物访谈和信息技术等研究方法。力求在政经视野下，从城乡规划学、历史学、社会学、行政学、政治经济学等多学科角度探寻这一特定城市的近代城市规划演变过程：①根据城市行政主体与规划建设的关联性，确立“清末（警察、劝业道）、军政府、商埠、市政府、战时首都、战后陪都”6个时段的规划建设案例，逐步展开从局部到总体规划建设的案例研究。②从城市规划建设相关的议案、建设案、相关人物及其思想等方面，分析每一时段城市行政主体在规划建设变革方面的动力、具体途径和表现形式。③从纵向和横向两个方面入手，综合比较了重庆不同时段城市行政与规划建设变革的关系，探究行政变迁与城市建设发展、规划变革的连接途径，以及城市规划建设发展的地域特色、规律性及其影响、作用。
