The development in many countries has been described as a movement towards a more market-oriented land-use planning. Here it is argued that "market-oriented planning" covers several distinct types and that these can be analyzed by looking at the role of the local government in three dimensions: formulation of visions of urban development, legal rights to determine land use, and economic resources. Market-oriented planning then means a stronger role for the private/business sector in one or several of these dimensions. Five specific types are identified, related to in which dimensions the private/business sector is dominating.
