A systematic approach to urban environmental planning and management: project report from Thailand

Year: 1996

Type: article

Abstract: This paper describes an initiative to introduce an urban environmental planning and management system into Thailand as part of a broader “decentralization” agenda. Its main emphasis was on enhancing cooperation between local community organizations and municipal authorities in identifying problems and developing plans to address them. But it also encouraged provincial and national authorities to facilitate self-organized action at municipal and community level and to move away from traditional modes of centralized planning and control.
