Abstract

Two articles in this issue deal with subcontinental planning, both very topical in our present planning milieu. The articles by Mr. Robinson is a very clearly written rational view of the planning strategy which, inter alia, directly concerns the emerging national states of South Africa. This topic is usually clouded with political emotionalism: it is therefore refreshing and enlightening to read a scientifically based and well-referenced view by a rising academician.
