Abstract

This chapter explores how planning theories and methods applied to the creation of regional development plans for remote regions in Australia and Canada reinforce the socio-economic disadvantages of the Indigenous populations in those regions. The literature regarding planning for economic development in remote regions highlights the inadequacies of top-down sectoral-based approaches in favour of a place-based approach, yet the practice of place-based planning remains elusive. This chapter highlights the need for a place-based approach to regional planning through an analysis of implications of contemporary practice upon the social and economic well-being of the Indigenous peoples1 of Cape York Peninsula in Australia and Nunavut in Canada. In this chapter we use the term ‘regional planning’ to mean planning over very large geographical regions that are sparsely populated with several small settlements or villages.
