Chapter 9: Time and space frameworks for planning
9.2. Overall picture of the planning process
Before we look at the time and space framework of planning, we will present an overall picture of the economic planning process based on the World Commonwealth, which can be organized into the following three major stages.
① Formulation of the world economic plan in the World Commonwealth
⇒ The world economic plan is really a set of guiding principles that serves as the overall blueprint for economic planning in the World Commonwealth. It is centered on an overall production plan that incorporates an energy plan as a premise, and a production plan that takes into account the demand and supply outlook that takes into account the environmental situation and population of each Grand-Zone. In formulating the plan, environmental policy organizations such as the World Environment Programme are also involved in the establishment of environmental standards. The plan is reviewed by the World Community institutions and finally approved by the World Commonwealth Commons' Convention and put into effect.
② Formulation of economic plans in each constituent Zone
⇒ The Zonal economic plan is a respective plan for each member Zone of the World Commonwealth, developed by the planning body (Economic Planning Conference) of each Zone within the framework of the world economic plan. This plan is frontline plan that will directly affect the daily lives of the people. It is divided into three areas: Division A for general production, Division B for agriculture, forestry and fisheries, and Division C for pharmaceuticals as a special production area. It also includes a surplus plan in preparation for disasters and infectious disease pandemics. The plan will be deliberated and approved at the Zonal Commons' Convention before coming into effect.
③ Formulation of economic plans in greater local area
⇒The economic plan in greater local area is a consumption plan for each greater local area (Provincial Area or Quasi-Zone) within each Zone. Since the principle of a sustainable planned economy is local production for local consumption, the Zonal economic plan should be the general framework, while plans for the distribution and consumption of daily living goods, especially food, should be formulated for each greater local area. The plan is formulated by the local consumer business association and is deliberated and approved at the Commons' Convention in each greater local area before coming into effect.
