Issues that should be prominently placed on an agenda for an urban growth management portion of the RDP are identified in the paper from a review of international aid agencies and United States domestic experience, and are briefly described. These issues are:

• spatial segmentation of residential areas must be reduced
• the resource allocation question “efficiency vs need” must be resolved
• urban productivity must be improved
• appropriate information and modelling systems must be utilised.
