Abstract
This paper serves as an open forum in which all groups of students, citizens, planners, politicians and researchers are to represent their own opinions in the process of making urban policies. Urban planning can not be formulated in one dimension. This paper is intended to present a broad context of planning framework, which may facilitate comprehension of more detailed aspects of the planning issues in an orderly manner. A number of measures should be taken for cooperation and coordination. Those interested can demonstrate a capability to create conditions to make an economically competitive, socially cohesive, ecologically sound and culturally flourishing society in the international arena. I hope this paper provides intellectual substance from which unresolved planning issues will be further discussed and the prospective outcome will accomplish the main purpose
