520			_aThe paper brings to fore the inadequacies and at times fallacies of the development planning which ignores the plurality of factors working in the target areas. It argues the case for spatial and integrated planning that takes care of the needs arising from changing social, economical, cultural and environmental factors which are essentially linked to the geographical and physical conditions. The urban and rural areas being inseparably linked to each other should be viewed as an integrated unit for the purpose of planning services, facilities and civic amenities. This is the only remedy to avoid regional imbalances and disparities. The author warns that half-hearted efforts and non-integrated planning have already caused much damage to economic, social and cultural fabric. - Reproduced
