ABSTRACT

As its title suggests this chapter reviews some of the key issues that are involved in the transfer of planning experience between countries. The basic concepts underlying the idea of transfer are outlined in the first section and then the processes of transfer themselves are examined from two different standpoints. In the final section, some of the implications arising out of the review are considered with particular reference to the role played by international agencies in the transfer process. Throughout the chapter the issues involved are dealt with in general terms with a view to identifying topics for further, more detailed investigation.
