Plan evaluation is a well-established part of the planning canon. While this subject has received considerable attention from planning scholars in recent years, plan evaluation methods are not commonly used in practice.

The concept of evaluation is explained, and the relationship that exists between program evaluation and plan evaluation is explored.
