ABSTRACT
In Part 2 we shall be concerned to use our experience in Coventry as a starting-point from which to explore, at a more generalized level, the dynamics of planning regarded as a process of strategic choice, and to isolate certain characteristic classes of problem which it presents to those in positions of responsibility, not only in local authorities but in other agencies of government as well. Our object will be to gain insights into the kinds of capability which public authorities must develop if they are to cope effectively yet democratically with the challenges of strategic choice.
