From 1927 to 1937 there had been kinds of park planning. 'Parks and boulevards' in 'The Plan of Capital' is the most improved. Besides, small park system and forest park planning are also proposed. The national government officials represented by Chiang Kai Shek, and leaders of Nanjing municipal government represented by Liu Ji Wen and He Min Hun are all supporting the planning but many plans were not implemented at last. Nanjing municipal government even set up a modern municipal management department: the Park Management Department for the job but still, the construction didn't sustain long because of the frequent personnel changes in the department. Meanwhile, they were facing a serious issue that most capital construction might commonly have: lack of fund. Thus many plans been put in dilemma. Everybody knows the difficulties of park construction. However, they still actively put forward a variety of plans. The reason is quite worth pondering. On one hand, they intended beautifying the capital, providing a better living environment. On the other hand, capital is a kind of political resources, by controlling the capital constructions, Nationalist Party Government intended to establish their legal successors of Sun Yat Sen, enhance the ruling authority and guide the public through national identiy.
