Abstract
This article is a brief research report based on network planning of urban high rail transit in Guangzhou. It is the first professional and systematic research in our country. After one year's research and practice, a series of new opinions, new theories, new methods and new ideas have been found out about character, guideline, content, research method, control scale, structure level, function analysis, traffic prediction, evaluation system and implementation planning of network planning and so on. The network planning in conformity with urban comprehensive planning has established important basis for urban advancement and continuous development of high rail transit. Urban high rail transit with the characteristic of popular, large capacity and special railway is the main public transport in big cities.
