  范文一:

  Applied Program: URP 

  As a member of the third generation after founding of the People’s Republic of China, I grew up as a witness of the rapid economic development of China as a result of its reform and opening up policy. I consider myself more fortunate than people of my previous generations because today China is experiencing dynamic development and facing unprecedented opportunities and challenges brought by its accession into the WTO and deepening economic globalization. 

  I was aware of the importance to study economics and management in a diversified cultural environment early in my undergraduate study in business administration. After I started working, I felt more deeply in the urban planning and construction projects I undertook that the rapid development of public transportation boosted material expansion and accelerated the inherent instability in urban life. Endless segmentation has been seen in an extensive range in rapidly emerging residential areas and community construction. This is no doubt the result of the serious lack of scientific planning in urban expansion in China. 

  As a young man of the largest developing country in the world, I’m more oriented to observation and reflections everyday. I long for opportunities to learn more about western societies and study in an environment that is disparate with China in beliefs and habits because in the mirrors of differences, I will be probably more capable of reflecting on the culture and beliefs of my own nation. 

  It is because of the above reasons that I’m applying for pursuit of further studies in urban and regional planning (URP) in the University of XX. I hope I will be able to learn from the experience, ideas and methodologies of the XX in the field I’m so interested in and combine them with the actual circumstances of China to change the inappropriate practices and concepts in urban planning in China. With the marriage between more internationalized cultures and Chinese traditions, I hope I will be able to find a balance between China’s traditional culture and the modern trend in urban planning and development. I think I already have a clear motif and I have also equipped myself with all the qualities required for successful study and research at your university. 

  I’m proud to say that I have built for myself a sound specialized theoretical foundation through my four years of study in business administration in XX University. With an average GPA of 83 in four years, I ranked the third in all 100 students of the major. I received Scholarship for Excellent Students many times and I was honored an Excellent Graduate in 2003. I was a top student in the courses of Economics, Management, Statistics, etc. At the same time, I read extensively after class and I studied a full set of curricula offered by XX Business School. I had the notion that economic business is but business competition-based independent practice using pure economic theories or models. But with my deepening of study, I found it is a discipline that incorporates profound philosophical ideas, cultural differences and a wide range of natural sciences. This certainly echoes a well-known saying in XX Business School: doing business is like being a man. 

  Moreover, I have shown competent research ability in the two specialized academic papers I published. In writing my graduation thesis entitled XX, I investigated thirty state-owned enterprises and foreign-invested enterprise and conducted 500 tests and data analysis. Based on a study on the human resource management models in XX and XX enterprises, I have summarized the peculiarities and discrepancies of Chinese enterprises through comparisons. The 25,000-word thesis analyzed moot points including the autonomous power of talents and psychological contract from the perspectives of strategic management, mathematical statistics and cultural operation models. The thesis received a high score of 95 from the assessment panel and was published in XX, a core national academic journal. My another thesis entitled XX, which discussed the role of personnel tests and evaluation in human resource management in a market economy system from the perspectives of the screening, promotion, training, optimal allocation of personnel and salary package design and pointed out the wrong concepts in personnel evaluation in China and proposed solutions, was published in a top provincial-level journal. 

  A theory will find its life only in practice. I accumulated more experience in my specialized field of interest in every internship and assignment. During my internship at the Bureau of Forestry of XX City of XX Province from June to September 2002, I collected data and produced statistics on the livestock husbandry and aquiculture of the entire city and made a significant contribution to the 2003-2007 five-year livestock husbandry and aquiculture planning program of XX City. In my internship in the Construction Committee of XX City of XX Province from February to May 2003, I took part in the planning project for a 200,000-square meter XX Residential District. I was specifically responsible for statistical calculation on compliance with national standards of noise control, compliance with national standards in mosquito and fly density and garbage bagging, classification and designated disposal, occurrence of criminal cases, etc. The residential district was honored a “National Leading Residential District” because of its outstanding planning. During this period, I also took part in many other public projects and construction administration. Since my graduation in July 2003, I have been working as a manager of marketing in XX Metal Industry Ltd Company. I successfully fulfilled my responsibility for the processing and selling of 400 tons of refined copper imported from XX and XX. I was also responsible for some personnel management work at the company. 

  Based on my large amount of observation and deepened reflections on a wide variety of issues in practice, I think that China has many wrong concepts and rooms for improvement in URP, e.g. mismatch between autonomous administration of residential areas and government function transformation, lack of attention on community construction in urban-rural connection areas and the unrestrained expansion and irrationality in residential space and communities in urban development planning. While China has its own peculiar circumstances compared with western countries because of its historic and cultural reasons, the learning of more advanced ideas and technologies in the field of urban planning will play an important role in solving the above problems. 

  The University of XX has a long esteem in URP and it is known widely for its strong faculty. The URP Program is nearly-sufficient with its own planning library and exclusive computer laboratory. I especially extol its efforts to conduct and disseminate research on the “theory and practice” of urban society to plan for more equitable and sustainable communities. I’m equally interested in areas of land use planning, land management, planning process theory, regional planning and economic development and transportation planning. After studying at your university, I will return to China and make more contributions to the prosperous development of China in first decades in the new millennium. I confidently believe that I will become an expert in URP and will have a much more successful career in this field with the amalgamation of the western and oriental cultures deep within me through studying at your university.

  Program: Urban Designing and Planning 

  It is only natural that I have grown up with an intense interest in architecture and urban planning; after all, China has a five thousand year old history of architectural achievements such as the Great Wall and the Forbidden City. Therefore, when I ranked second in the county on the university entrance exam, I chose to pursue architecture as my undergraduate specialty at Southeast University. As an undergraduate, I developed a solid foundation of knowledge in the field. My favorite course was architectural designing, where I was able to express myself and my originality through my drafts and models. More importantly, the designing process helped me to understand all aspects of architecture, from the inside to the outside of individual buildings and how those buildings interact with the external environment. I graduated with honors and worked in the Nan Ning designing institute under the government’s Ministry of Light Industry. 

  During my three years there, I developed an even deeper understanding of architecture and its relationship with the environment while I was engaged in a series of designing plans for bids and practical engineering designing. I also participated in a designing contest in Guangxi province, working around the clock, where I was honored to be awarded the second prize for my nearly perfect design at the Design Competition for Residential Areas of Nan Ning City. 

  My work experience taught me that in today’s world, a new perspective is necessary in architecture that stresses totality and an overall systematic outlook in the building of cities. I studied very hard and was accepted into the postgraduate program in urban planning and design in Tsinghua University, one of the most prestigious universities in China. There I realized that I was more interested in general urban space rather than the individual buildings themselves, which has led me to conduct research on my dissertation with the working title of “Research on the Open Space Along Streets”. Professional designing of urban living space must be able to meet the demands of city life while simultaneously harmonizing itself with the surrounding architecture and environment. Particularly in China, we must strive to combine the elements of nature, society and the economy to create living space that maintains an ecological perspective while allowing for sustainable development. I am currently researching the effect of the widening of space between buildings and streets in Beijing as result of the growing transportation needs of the city and road construction. Useable land in cities is shrinking and we must consider how to systematically create proper green and open space along streets, which is the thesis that I intend to verify in my dissertation. 

  This leads to the main motivation for pursuing my Ph.D. to learn more systematic and advanced theoretical theories as well as more practical means of implementation from the more developed countries of the west, which have already undergone tremendous development and redevelopment of cities. In China in the past two decades, with the increasing encroachment of commercialization, the cities have been poorly planned with serious damage to historical areas with few proper public spaces. China’s process of urbanization is increasing at an astronomic rate, now at 40% compared with 80% for most developed Western countries. I plan to earn my Ph.D. and return to China to do everything that I can to ensure that I can serve society by creating beautiful and harmonious working and living environments for people in our cities. 

  Three faculty members that I would like to work with at the University of Washington include Dr. Marina Alberti, Dr. Kristina Hill and Dr. Robert Mugerauer. Dr. Alberti can help me further my research into urban ecology and impact assessment, while Dr. Hill could also help me with urban ecology as well as GIS mapping and spatial patterns of land use. Dr. Mugerauer would be extremely helpful in guiding me further into the study of sustainability and the impact of technology in built and natural environments, values, social and cultural factors in design and planning, and theory and current research methods, all of which are areas that will help to develop my utmost potential as an urban planner and designer in China.

  My intended course of study at the University of Washington will follow the path that will best prepare me for my career as an urban planner in China. For the first year, I will probably take Urban Form, Urban Ecology, American Urban History, Urban Spatial Analysis, Land Use and Transportation Models, Land Use Planning, Transportation Planning and Environmental Planning, which I believe will fulfill my core curriculum requirements. My primary research interests while at your university will lie in finding the ways and means of current domestic city planning and designing to integrate social and economic conditions with ecological thinking according to the natural local conditions. I would like to find more ways to make the plans and designs more practical while simultaneously making the residences more environmentally friendly. In this way, I can help to make urban areas in China more sustainable, with more greenery, more fresh air, and more closely related with nature. 

  In the future, I plan to seek a senior teaching position to help develop future urban planners in China. In addition, I would like to join an institute of urban planning in Beijing for at least two reasons. First, China’s rapid economic growth will continue to promote the rate of urbanization. Good urban planners will be a necessity to ensure that urban growth is well planned and controlled. Secondly, Beijing will be the host city of the 2008 Summer Olympic Games. Massive construction projects for the necessary sports facilities will provide great opportunities for urban designing and planning. 

  In summary, I have a dream to become one of the top urban planners and designers in all of China to promote healthy and ecologically friendly urban growth. With a Ph.D. from the University of Washington, I will have the solid educational foundation that I need to fulfill that dream.
