This paper explores the urban planning framework with particular reference to approaches and strategies for revitalization as a key tool for intervention in derelict areas, especially when local government has a low budget for managing urban growth. From an international development perspective, south-south, south-north and northsouth information exchanges can help inform better policy making. As such, an overview of the effectiveness of planning policies, with particular reference to the experience of developing countries, can act as a starting point. Through international comparison, the paper takes a look at current policies, strategies, and trends within the field of planning and seeks a greater understanding of the reasons for their failure within developing countries. This paper, then, begins a review of the impact of certain policies and attempts to initiate a dialogue for discovering the best practices currently being applied within metropolitan areas, particularly those in developing regions, and seeks an understanding the important implications for urban management. In order to draw some conclusions, a closer look is taken on two examples, i.e. the experiences of Jakarta (Indonesia) and Greater Resistencia (Argentina).
