Abstract
In February 1950, Liang Sicheng and Chen Zhanxiang jointly proposed the "Proposal on the Location of the Central People's Government's Administrative Center Area", which is known as the Liang Chen Plan. Although this scheme has not been implemented, it is often mentioned. The designers have objective understandings of Beijing's urban functions, development conditions, and spatial structure. This scheme once gave Beijing the opportunity to move towards a completely different direction from now.
