| Popis: | Spatial planning has played a role in third world development since the 1960s. During most of the 1970s, the dominant spatial development strategy was drawn from growth pole and growth centers theory. By the end of the decade, agropolitan development concepts, such as USAID's integrated rural development strategy, became influential. In the last several years, small and midsized cities or market centers have become the focus of attention. This paper reviews the spatial systems logic drawn upon to legitimize each of these strategies. It is argued that development models based on the hypothetical relationships posited to exist in a mature capitalist urban economic system are inappropriate in most third world countries. |
