Abstract

Some of the discussions in two distinct areas of planning theory concern, namely the substantive versus procedural theory debate and the uncertain role concepts of planners, are related to each other. These concerns are considered from a practical viewpoint and some empirical data are used to raise important issues for planning practice. The viability of planning theory in Third World countries as either substantive issues alone or procedural issues alone is questioned. For educational purposes in the Third World, a wider spectrum of theories of planning can be useful for the advancement of planning.
