National Development and Rural-Urban Policy: Past Experience and New Directions in Kenya
比较肯尼亚自1970-74年发展计划以来城乡发展政策的演变，从独立政策转向国家发展整体组成部分，关注城市系统功能、基础设施投资、小城镇促进及商业激励。
This paper compares earlier and current approaches to rural-urban development in Kenya since its origins in the development Plan of 1970-74. Whereas, earlier, rural-urban development was treated as a self-contained policy area, it is now regarded as an integral component of national development policy. Primary attention is given not so much to the form of the urban system, but to the functioning of it. While the allocation of investments in physical infrastructure remains a key instrument of policy, others include the promotion of small towns serving rural areas - known as 'Rural Trade and Production Centres', the improvement of delivery systems for public services, and incentives for business, particularly small scale enterprises and informal sector activities.
