Abstract

UNCHS (1987c) suggests that ‘there is no universal model for settlement management: development strategies and institutional arrangements for human settlements will respond to specific political structures and to changing needs and opportunities’.1 This chapter and Chapter 4 look at various aspects of ‘development strategies’. Part III analyses ‘institutional arrangements’. This chapter therefore seeks to identify the salient themes in the move from traditional planning to contemporary management. It considers three topics:

  • CITIES AND ECONOMIC GROWTH

  • REQUIRED PLANNING RESPONSES

  • FROM PLANNING TO INTEGRATED MANAGEMENT.
