Abstract: Since the end of the Second World War, developing countries have presented themselves as a testing ground for western theories or planning techniques usually referred to as rational comprehensive planning. This paper examines evidence of several difficulties in promoting social and economic development with the use of this planning approach. The paper concludes that planning requires a full-understanding of the context where improvements or strategies are implemented. Developing countries poses social and economic characteristics that are considerably different than those found in developed countries, where rational planning was first introduced.
