Regional development planning systems have expanded rapidly in many developing countries. This is a means at the regional level for equitable distribution of development efforts and benefits, national integration of the economy, and a collective approach to the extreme imbalances and disparities between regions and social groups. Regional development planning has assumed prominence in the development strategies of many Third World countries. Strategy questions as to where to locate development projects, how to evaluate or appraise them, how to distribute them in geographic space, who participates in development efforts and decisions, and what are the distributive impacts or consequences of the existing and\/or proposed productive activities and their spatial arrangements have occupied the thoughts of many regional development planners.
Notwithstanding these concerns and dogmatic optimisms, contemporary regional planning methods, techniques, and strategies are experiencing serious surgical operations with respect to their relevance, efficiency, adequacy, and applicability. At the same time, some of the seminal concepts as well as the sophisticated techniques associated with them are growth anemic. Furthermore, the particular problems posed by contemporary regional development issues have led to the need for a reappraisal of regional planning, a fluid, interesting, but very complex field of investigation.
These problems called for research designed to contribute to the development of new concepts and alternative approaches to regional development as well as the training of professionals in the field of regional planning and other related disciplines that can critically assess the responsiveness of regional planning methods, strategies, and techniques to their own regional million.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
