Abstract
  • Each day, planners in developing countries face a number of interrelated complex problems. In low-income countries in particular, major cities are doubling in population every ten to fifteen years. As a result of uncontrolled urban growth, planners are confronted with high levels of unemployment, major traffic congestion within the urban core, massive housing shortages, and inadequate public services such as safe water, sewage systems, roads and electricity. Urban-based problems are closely linked to high levels of rural unemployment and uneven regional development. The interdependent nature of problems facing developing countries requires integrated regional, rural and urban planning strategies
