Abstract
Description
This essay contains a lecture which the author delivered at Boston University on April 7, 1984; for the first conference of the International Planning Division of the New England American Planning Association. The essay summarizes the new policy options implemented in the context of decentralization. It emphasizes the new kind of power structure, the clarification of responsibilities between the state, the planning administration and the local governments. However, the first acts passed seem to indicate that withdrawal of the central authorities is far from complete.
