Abstract

There are several ways of interpreting the story of regional planning and development over the past 25 years. This article contrasts the reality of regional planning viewed as a professional problem with re gional planning when examined from political, technological, and empiri cal realities. Then it draws inferences from these realities to some less well known aspects of regional planning: the shifts over the years from a 'technical' to a 'socio-political' emphasis; the potential conflicts be tween equality and decentralization; the novelty of the regional char acterization of inequality; the movement from and interdependency be tween the regional, national, and autonomous versions of regional plan ning ; and the quasi-utopian features of both the professional and the political perspectives.
