Abstract

The endurance of a regional planning forum in the South East (SERPLAN), its current strong activity in response to recent lack of interest by the Government, and its survival despite the abolition of the Greater London Council (GLC), is testimony to the crucial importance the local planning authorities attach to it. This stems mainly from the dynamics of social and economic change in the metropolitan region: the forces of dispersal — of people in search of better housing, of economic activity arising from changes in industrial and occupational structures — and decline in the Capital itself.
