Abstract: Landscape Planning course is commonly regarded as an underlying course for the discipline of landscape architecture. However, its current development, in terms of systematic structure and teaching method application, is far from satisfaction. Based on the background of the new era featuring a national ecological civilization strategy, as well as the comprehensive survey of the present state of the course development and its delivery at universities, this research looks into the existing problems in such aspects as the orientation and systematic construction of the course, enrichment of the fundamental course, and comes up with corresponding proposals, hoping to shed some constructive lights on the reform of the course.
