The article focuses on the importance of planning in the success of development programs. It offers various suggestions on how to make an effective planning for a certain project or community development program, such as creating a comprehensive plan that goes beyond engineering surveys and has the essential elements for establishing a coordinated, adjusted and suitable development. The author believes that a comprehensive plan begins with an economic master plan that features a survey and analysis of all economic and social resources. In addition, a public project in Puerto Rico is discussed.
