Abstract: This article takes a critical look at the collaboration between William Alonso and John Friedmann in compiling two early collections of readings on regional development and planning. Important as these volumes were at the time they appeared (1964 and 1975), helping to delineate a new field of study, the world has changed. Metropolitan regions have moved into the foreground of interest, and there is now a much greater concern with questions of environmental sustainability, technological innovations, and the consequences of spatial restructuring in advanced economies. But pulling materials together on these new topics represents a formidable task.
