As the traditional role and practices of Israeli local government were rendered inappropriate by decentralization from central government, a major reshaping was set in motion. The gap between the responsibilities of local authorities and their managerial resources prompted the development of a new support mechanism - the Municipal Strategic Planning and Information Unit. These units and their work are the focus of this monograph which examines, through case studies, how, since their inception in 1985, local planning and management has developed a more comprehensive and coordinated approach. The study finds that the wider strategic agenda has implications for the skills and training of local government planners.
