Abstract
It has been increasingly recognised that there are substantial contrasts in the Development
of some regions compared to that of others. Indeed contrasts operate at different spatial
scales because in reality some parts of individual regions are richer and more developed
than others.
Regional planning strategies are employed to redress disparities.
In setting development goals for our towns there is need for utilising existing theories and
models as tools for attaining set targets and objectives. Placing much emphasis on city
and town masterplan implementation without giving due emphasis to wider regional level
interactions might not help in achieving set objectives.
After about 20 years of implementation of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja Region
Plan there is need to examine how strategies for the development of towns in the territory
have met their desired objectives. It is necessary to make review of existing strategies on
the basis of observed spatial dynamics that might have not been anticipated initially.
