Abstract

The purpose for this presentation has the objective of establishing the urban framework for dialogue, in which two divergent planning stances can be contrasted. One of those, represented by the new tendency during the last 20 years on the United States, of establishing a system of supramunicipal planning (Regional Planning), and the other, represented by the pragmatic tendency on the Metropolitan region of Phoenix, Arizona that resists all kinds of regional planning under the viewpoint that competitive forces on the economic market are the best guidelines to lead land use.
