Summary:

This study of current planning theory is classified into four main streams: physical planning theory, dealing with the effect of the growth controlled environment and built environment on the form and content of the master plan, social planning theory, concerned with inequities among people, economic planning theory, running the gamut from the New Deal planners to the Marxists, policy planning theory, detailing the relationship of the rational/technical and societal action strains of decision-making.
