ABSTRACT
Taken together, the case studies of Part II provide a body of evidence that demonstrates the many dimensions of complexity to be understood in any attempt to appreciate fully the processes of public intervention in local and regional change. In Part III, our concern will be to use the evidence so far assembled as a point of departure in developing some general arguments and hypotheses relating to the future evolution of public planning, and subsequently in suggesting certain forms of innovation and experiment through which some realistic progress might be achieved.
