    From the beginning of the birth of urban planning theory, there have been always seeks to plan the better community through physical planning. The trends of those “community planning” changed from the idea to “construct a planned-community in suburban area as a new satellite city” to the approach to regenerate the built environment. One of the current community planning practices in European cities have been found in the URBACT program. During the three different terms from 2002 to 2020, the URBACT has diversified central theme from community development. This study examines one of the URBACT projects, so-called RE-Block, which has been carried out the creation of public spaces and new urban facilities, publicity activities and management of local websites. The recent community planning seen in URBACT integrates the physical transformation with social inclusion issues.
