Abstract

Abstract A distinction is made between allocative and innovative planning on the ground that there are significant behavioral differences between them. Innovative planning is defined as (1) seeking to legitimize new social objectives or effect a major reordering in the priority of existing objectives, (2) concerned with translating general value propositions into new institutional arrangements and concrete action programs, (3) being more interested in the mobilization of resources than in their optimal use, and (4) proposing to guide innovation processes through information feedback of the actual consequences of action. These points are illustrated with data from Chile's urban and regional development program, ending with a discussion of the relation between innovative and allocative planning.
