Abstract

From Spatial Development Initiative to Blue IQ: Sub-National Economic Planning in Gauteng Christian M. Rogerson INTRODUCTION For a variety of reasons---historical, political and economic--the govemments of developing countries in the South are generally more centralised than those of developed countries in the North. Nevertheless, as a result of a complex of factors including globalisation and structural adjustment, decentralisation is occurring in many countries of the South (Olowu, 2001, Helmsing, 2003a, 2003b; Olowu, 2003; Smoke, 2003). As decentralisation is increasingly taking place across many low and middle-income countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America, it is apparent that the question of sub-national planning is acquiring greater policy significance (UNCDF, 2002; Smoke, 2003).
