This Introduces a Set of six articles discussing propositions about two kinds of planning, labeled by Douglas Uzzell "generative planning" and "regulative planning.” Governmentally sponsored Third World planners have for years promoted urbanization, and now many developing countries have more urban population than can be absorbed by industrial growth.
