“…The principle of “integration of public priorities across jurisdictions” is evident among existing plan quality criteria, for example, interorganizational coordination (Berke and Godschalk 2009) and vertical consistency (Norton 2008). As well, Smith (1998) places significant emphasis on this principle for agricultural land use planning in British Columbia, Canada, which has a strong policy focus to protect farmland. The fourth principle of accommodating flexibility is a more pragmatic response to the goal of achieving a balance among competing interests.…”

“…Integrating policies and priorities across jurisdictions is a foundation for building cohesion across senior-level (state, province, region) and local governments. This principle of integration can be viewed as a “policy thread” that weaves together traditional areas of responsibility (Smith 1998). One can also think of integration as a formal “linkage” between plans that provides consistency among them.…”

The literature suggests that plan quality should be distinguished as a type of plan evaluation not only for its focus on content but also for its communicative ends. This distinction is important for expanding the scope of plan quality evaluation, but it also highlights ambiguity about what we mean by "quality." As a way to address this ambiguity we propose three dimensions of plan quality: documentation (comprehensiveness), policy focus (strength), and discourse (persuasiveness). We also propose a set of four principles for evaluating the strength of policy focus: maximize stability, minimize uncertainty, integrate public priorities across jurisdictions, and accommodate flexibility.
