Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in1984. Regional development planning has grown rapidly in recent years, as both an academic specialism and a focus of policy and practice.

Charles Gore argues that this growing popularity of regional planning in developing countries is profoundly paradoxical.
