Abstract
A strong interaction among politics, planning, and power has evolved during the twelve years of Nelson A. Rockefeller's administration in New York State. Following the blueprint outlined by the 1964 report, “Change/Challenge/ Response—A Development Policy for New York State,” a more detailed statewide land use and settlement policy is near completion. At the same time, four basic implementation strategies have emerged: regionalization of state and local planning; integrated planning, programming, and budgeting; functional reorganization of the state government; and use of public benefit corporations to construct state and local infrastructure components. The continuity provided by the governor's reelection to a fourth term offers the potential for a major breakthrough in coordination of state government planning and action that is necessary to resolve the urgent issues of our urban society.
