Abstract
Development has two important aspects: the approaches for achieving this goal and the outcomes in terms of growth, access and equity. Development planners may adopt unevenness or unbalanced growth as a deliberate strategy or it may be incidental to this strategy. Unevenness may also result from wide gaps between planning and expectations and reality. Development decisions are made on the basis of certain assumptions about the functioning of markets and institutions, the availability of resources and their utilisation which often turn out to he not valid in practice.
