An empirical model of metropolitan planning agencies is constructed to study variations in planning behavior. Factor analysis is employed in defining the dimensions of agency input and output. These dimensions are used to cluster the agencies into input and output types. Study of the linkages between input types and output types yields a model of affinities of types. Underdeveloped and developing agencies are found to constitute significant styles of agency behavior that are not explained by current planning theory.
