Planning Under New Federalism Coping with Conflicting Roles
Planners involved in administering local programs funded by the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program are often confronted with a dilemma: they are expected to coordinate the activities of line agencies in the interests of better management, yet they also serve as a link to citizens groups and formal citizen advisory boards which may resist efforts at making local administration more rational.
Case studies discussed herein show a number of responses planners have and can make to this dilemma. Evidence suggests that planners must develop a strategy to avoid being caught in the middle of conflicts between citizens and line agencies.
