Rural planning is a comprehensive planning and design of mountains, water, forests, fields, buildings and landscapes in rural areas. Rural planners are professionals with planning ability. They plan and guide rural construction according to local conditions and bring new opportunities for rural development, so they are also called "rural dreamers".
Rural planners are professionals with planning or related professional background. They are not only decision makers and organizers of rural planning, but also collectors of rural vision opinions, consultants of rural construction projects, directors of planning implementation, coordinators of contradictions in rural construction, rural planning researchers, popular science workers and propagandists. Generally speaking, rural planners are decision makers and organizers of rural planning, and their main responsibilities are to help the countryside and lead the revitalization.

Development history
Chengdu took the lead in establishing the rural planner system. In the seven years since 2003, Chengdu has fully implemented the overall strategy of urban and rural planning and "four in one" scientific development. Urban and rural planning has gone through three stages: from urban planning to urban and rural planning, from urban and rural planning to global planning, and from global planning to world modern garden city planning. The integration pattern of urban and rural planning has basically taken shape, and the overall planning of urban and rural development has entered a new stage of comprehensive deepening and upgrading.
At the end of 2009, Chengdu established the historical orientation and long-term goal of building a "world modern garden city", which requires not only the construction of an international and modern city, but also the construction of a new urban and rural form with harmonious integration of historical culture and modern civilization, as well as the construction and creation of small towns and villages with industrial development, beautiful environment and distinctive characteristics. With the further deepening of urban and rural planning practice and the promotion of the construction of modern garden cities in the world, the vast number of towns and villages have a realistic and urgent need to strengthen planning.
