Local development planning systems: Effects and trends

Abstract

Given the large economic and political importance of local social communities (ie local self-governments - municipalities and cities), each country has always taken particular care with their work and development. Local development, with its most delicate and leading role in planning, has a prominent place in this. However, the acceleration of the democratization of society in recent decades, caused by the progressive spread of science and technology with the accompanying increase in the education of the largest number of people, has not been seriously addressed, and therefore the current development of local development planning theory is overwhelmingly unsatisfactory. This is especially true of the lack of orderliness of the area of local development planning, as a basic factor in this, which hinders local development throughout the current world planning. It is for these reasons that the study of local planning systems in the world has been chosen as the subject of this paper, with the aim of contributing to the enrichment of that theory and raising the level of efficiency of that type of planning.
