Abstract
State attempts to influence land use and development patterns have waxed and waned over the years and vary extensively from state to state. Among the approaches, states have taken toward these ends are the construction, adoption, and implementation of state development plans (SDPs). This article examines SDPs in five states: Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, New Jersey, and Rhode Island with a particular focus on their institutional structure. Unlike the institutional structure of local planning, where the participants and their roles are relatively well established and uniform nationwide, there exist considerable differences in the development, adoption, and implementation of state plans. Each of the five states thus offers unique insights for addressing intergovernmental relationships in land-use planning.
