Abstract
Two recent projects for the selection of planning heritages in USA and Australia are reported systematically. Great Places in America is a flagship program of American Planning Association, which purpose is to make people recognize the values of city planning by celebrating places of exemplary character, quality, and planning. Urban and Town Planning Thematic Heritage Study is a leading academic survey for extending the concept of national heritages by the team of planning historians commissioned by the Commonwealth Department of the Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts. By comparison between these projects, contrasting view points for planning heritages are reconfirmed.
