Abstract: | This paper deals with some aspects of practical experience in the implementation of regional planning in sub-Saharan Africa and is specially concerned with the role of physical planners. The experience of Kenya is discussed in some detail but the main emphasis is on the analysis of the experience of Malawi, a poor and very crowded country whose development in several ways parallels that of Kenya, while in other respects being very different. Malawi's experience underlines the need, if physical planning policies are to be successfully implemented, for them to be consistent with regional planning activities of other Government agencies, as well as other macro-economic policies including those for agricultaral pricing and other policies affecting the relative success of the estate and smallholder sectors. - Maps, ref. |
