| Summary: | This article explains the evolution of regional planning and policy in Malaysia and
discusses the implications of the underlying regional economic theories and
regional policies for the socio-economic development of Malaysia. Regional
economic development in Malaysia is due to several factors, including the integration
of geography and physical features, the need for cooperation beyond local
jurisdictions, and the needs of local and national economic development. A review
of the literature suggests that the achievement and development of regional planning
would differ depending on the country’s pattern of development and growth.
However, the basis of regional planning remains the same: to promote competitiveness,
create economic opportunities, and achieve balance in the socio-economic
development of a country. In a way, regional planning is a tool to achieve sustainable
development in a country |
