This special issue is on the new Melbourne and Metropolitan Board of Works (M.M.B.W.) Regional Plan. In November 1971 a comprehensive document of over 100 pages dealing with new areas of planning, as well as traditional ones, was rushed through the M.M.B.W. in one brief sitting. This Irregular issue does not contain all of the features of the M.M.B.W.’s planning policies, which have many sensible ideas, nor offers a thoroughgoing analysis or alternative policies, but offers some random questions to ‘needle’ reader into ‘stimulation’ to think, talk and write more about the report.
