In view of climate issues, the urban development under cold climatic conditions faces with many challenges. As an important measure to guide the healthy and orderly development of cities, the urban planning has the important task of improving the quality of the urban living environment and ensuring the sustainable development of cities. This paper reviews related important achievements, including those in the overall urban planning, the residential planning, the public space planning and the landscape planning in winter cities at home and abroad. The prospective research trends in the aspects of the urban planning, the design and management in cold regions are suggested based on health-orientation, big data support and multi-process control.
