I think regional planning should be flexible and able to change according to the events.
What is the meaning of "event". is it about context of the region?
Planners have long thought that it makes sense to be able to plan at the regional scale, and not just at the local scale, because many planning issues affect areas that cross multiple municipal boundaries. There is a summary of some of these issues in the introduction and conclusions chapters of my book Sorensen, A. and J. Okata, Eds. (2011). Megacities: Urban Form, Governance, and Sustainability. Tokyo, Springer Verlag. The chapters are both available on Research Gate.

One major problem with regional planning is that if it comes with real power, or resources, then it can creates conflicts with local plans, and local politicians usually resent interference in their affairs. There is a large literature on this also

Regional planning has potential to address more of socio-economic and sustainability issues than just physical infrastructure. Most of the regional planning actions are focused on urban regions which in itself is centered around mother cities and its hinterland. Physical planning of regions have taken out people from its ambit of concern. Regional planning should have inclusive strategies, resource sharing abilities and bridge the urban -rural divide. The regional resources and its utilization (not exploitation) must be addressed by focusing on the natural resources. Its not prudent to being more urban centered which looking for expansion beyond cities physical limits. The administration of the regions which largely historical and geographical basis encompasses the security of resources for future. Most of the regions globally have exploited the regions for its resources, and left to fend for themselves while looking for good opportunity somewhere else. The cultural imprints and nature of region must be respected not only for protection of local culture but also to reduce the regional conflict. The national character of planning somewhat disregard the regional aspiration which can be addressed by more participatory and community based planning.
