20世紀享譽全球的英國都市規劃學者彼得．霍爾（Peter Hall），在其經典著作《明日城市》（Cities of Tomorrow）中深入剖析都市規劃的核心價值——它不僅僅引導資源與空間的分配，更是一門城市與區域發展的藝術，指引城市在全球化變遷的過程中走向最適合的方向。邁入21世紀，環境氣候的驟變、科技與人工智慧（AI）的快速發展，迫使許多城市重新思索都市規劃的方向。地方文化的保存、自然生態的保護、產業發展、經濟成長，以及民眾生活需求，在全球化加速推進及聯合國永續發展目標（Sustainable Development Goals, SDGs）引領下，面臨前所未有的挑戰與機遇。臺中市做為臺灣重要城市之一，積極回應國際趨勢提出施政藍圖，包括2050願景計畫、十五項守護臺中幸福策略，引領臺中市成為以人為本、具有獨特魅力的城市，也是健康、創新、幸福、富強、宜居及永續的城市。2020年臺中市被全球化及世界城市網絡（GaWC）評為世界城市的Gamma級，為臺灣僅有的五個入榜城市之一；2024年從APSAA亞太暨臺灣永續行動獎評選中抱回二十四座獎項，並連續兩年從亞太地區眾多參賽城市中脫穎而出，獲得宜居永續城市獎Outstanding City的最高榮譽。此外，更屢次在全國性的評比調查中，拿下施政滿意度、宜居城市首獎。書中梳理了臺中市引領都市規劃發展的八大實踐計畫，並針對達成的效益以及理想目標詳加介紹，同時更對接國際案例。
