Since decisions are made through the political process in local government, planners are being advised to modify their style of planning. Planners acknowledge the need to modify the practice of planning, but reforms are introduced within the framework of the comprehensive plan which continues to serve as the principal planning instrument. This results in internal conflicts within the planning process. In this paper a proposal is made for a planning system which is composed of a series of interacting building blocks. The planning process is molded to fit the management function and capability of those involved in the decision process. Plans are developed as management tools and the planning process accommodates the multiple centres which interact to produce a community's policies and strategies.
由于决策是通过地方政府的政治程序做出的，规划者们被建议改变他们的规划方式。规划者们承认有必要改变规划实践，但改革是在综合规划的框架内进行的，而综合规划仍然是主要的规划工具。这导致了规划过程中的内部冲突。本文提出了一个由一系列相互作用的构建块组成的规划系统的建议。规划过程根据决策过程中相关人员的管理职能和能力进行塑造。规划被制定为管理工具，并且规划过程适应多个相互作用以产生社区政策和战略的中心。
