The practice of regional planning in the United Kingdom has unfolded over more than 70 years. There have been certain continuities, but periodic adjustments to changing circumstances mean a disjointed story, with progress divided into five distinct periods: 1920–48, 1949–61, 1962–71, 1972–78 and 1979 to the present. The course of events reflects developing scope, methods and variety in regional planning and it strongly interconnects with changing political and administrative circumstances.
