ABSTRACT
This final chapter will bring together some important themes, which were raised in the first four chapters and were encountered in various forms during the country studies. These are grouped in three sets. The first reflects on the larger framings within which the infrastructure development issue has been examined and relates this to wider theoretical considerations. The second focuses more on planning and how spatial steering may be understood, both by explicit planning and by more constructed and indirect mechanisms. The third considers the ways in which the planning of major infrastructure might be done better, and what conditions would be necessary for such improved policy-making and action.
