| Abstract | ||||
| Developn~ent management of human settlements in developing countries has gained planners' attention. Regional imbalances associate with urban problems including environmental degradation, housing problems, unen~ployment and the like. Different development approaches have experienced limited effectiveness. The philosophical foundation of these approaches and the decision-nlaking process are among the reasons for the limited succcss. Today in the age of globalization, a new mode of capital accunlulation associates with new modalities of thinking. This paper presents the design of the project to articulate a Strategic Plan for the Development of Human Settlements, South of Egypt, using post-modernist p1,uming mode of thinking and a participatory decision-making process. Postmodern planning en~phasizes a combination of instrumental and communicative action directed by cmancipatoly interests where planning is an enlightening social process. It offers a franlework that is suitable for the dynamic nature of contemporary societal transfomiations. Postmodern piamling offers new definitions for old problems thus presenting new solutions that could be adequate in the coming millenium. | ||||
