Indian Social Science ReviewSummary: Inter-organisational coordination is significant for an effective delivery of the planning function, because successful preparation and implementation of the planning policies and controls depend on a number of other organisations. This paper presents an analytical framework containing four levels of coordination among the various interest groups, which are then applied to the planning practice pursued by the first development authority of India, the Delhi Development Authority (DDA), in order to examine the coordination of DDA with other organisations. It has been uncovered that the lack of inter-organisational coordination has either slowed down, delayed, or simply stopped development. The presumed centrality of planning, particularly the master plan; allocating the responsibility of planning to elected local bodies; abolition of development authorities like the DDA; creation of a geographical information system in respect to notification and de-notification of development areas; and training of employees to work in a multi-organisational environment are some of the suggestions which could lead to effective coordination. - Reproduced.
