The first step in any systematic attempt to promote urban development is prepare useful programmes based on people/community needs. The development of such programmes, which harmonize with the needs of people as a whole, is an important responsibility of urban development workers. Programme planning is also a procedure of working with the people in an effort to recognize unsatisfactory situations or problems, and to determine possible solutions, or objectives or goals. This is a conscious effort to meet the needs, interests and wants of people for whom the urban developmental programmes are intended. Hence, the element of people needs should be the central concern of urban development professionals who formulate/implement development programmes.
