This issue reports the discussions and findings of a workshop held in December 1990 in London. The workshop was organised by IIED and the University of Birmingham. The aim of the workshop was to take stock of current experience in local-level participatory planning approaches, to reflect on how these relate to more conventional planning, and to explore the implications for organisation, management and institutionalisation of local-level planning in different settings.
The principal findings and challenges for the future, as identified by participants, are recorded in Part A of this issue. Part B is a selection of the contributions made at the workshop.
