During the last years, there are a plenty of urban programming projects have been carried out all over the country, most of these projects belong to non-statutory planning. But it is not very clarified about the conception, character and preparation methods of non-statutory planning. In this paper we integrate re- cent views of non-statutory planning and put forward comparatively clear definition. Based on these we also ana- lyze and discuss the relationship between non-statutory planning and statutory planning. At last, as concerned of diffi- culty of non-statutory planning, we take some non-statutory planning projects of Jiaxing Planning Design Institute dur- ing recent years as cases and put forward the key points that should be emphasized in preparing non-statutory planning.
