Opening Pandora’s Box: Regional Action on a Concept of Sustainable Growth with Equity

Richard Bond

Chapter 6 in Development Planning and Poverty Reduction, 2003, pp 86-93 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The integration of economic, social and environmental concerns in people-centred projects is now considered as the optimum approach to sustainable development. There is also increasing recognition of the desirability of integrating the efforts of state, civil and commercial sectors in the development process. How then can project planning and management cope with such exacting new demands? These issues are explored conceptually and through a case study of the ‘Area-Based Growth with Equity’ programme in Sri Lanka where orthodox approaches were rejected and a process approach was taken in the preparation of a series of investments aimed at building regional capacity to plan projects inter-sectorally and according to sustainable development principles.
