It brings together selected papers by eminent scholars on the role of regional planning in national development, coming at a time when conventional approaches to development are being questioned and new approaches being sought to tackle problems which continue to plague developing countries despite their improvement in productivity and economic growth. While the papers are heterogeneous in terms of themes and scope several common factors emerge. To name a few - that the techniques and concepts of macro economic planning are not suited to micro planning; that existing approaches are largely meant for industrialized societies; that regional planning must reorient itself to become a tool for generating rural employment and removing poverty among marginalized people; that the multilevel concept of regional planning requiring systems of regions both vertically and horizontally interlinked is favourable, and that the human and organizational dimensions of regional planning are crucial. This volume highlights the achievement of the theory and practice of regional planning, and by identifying the major short- comings has set the stage for the further effectiveness of regional planning as a tool for national development in the real sense.
