This article explains the evolution of regional planning and policy in Malaysia and discusses the implications of the underlying regional economic theories and regional policies for the socio-economic development of Malaysia. Regional economic development in Malaysia is due to several factors, including the integration of geography and physical features, the need for cooperation beyond local jurisdictions, and the needs of local and national economic development. A review of the literature suggests that the achievement and development of regional planning would differ depending on the country's pattern of development and growth. However, the basis of regional planning remains the same: to promote competitiveness, create economic opportunities, and achieve balance in the socio-economic development of a country. In a way, regional planning is a tool to achieve sustainable development in a country. Cet article propose une explication de l’évolution de la planification régionale et de ses politiques en Malaisie ; il passe en revue les théories de l’économie régionale et les stratégies de politiques régionales pour le développement socio-économique dans ce pays. Le développement économique régional est lié à plusieurs facteurs, dont l’intégration de la géographie et de la morphologie physique, la nécessité de coopération au-delà des juridictions locales, ainsi que les besoins spécifiques du développement économique local et national. Une analyse des publications sur le sujet indique que la réussite et le développement de la planification régionale varierait en fonction du modèle national de développement et de croissance. Néanmoins, la base même de la planification régionale reste inchangée : il s'agit de promouvoir la compétitivité, de créer des opportunités économiques et de réaliser un équilibre dans le développement socio-économique du pays. D’une certaine manière, la planification régionale est un outil pour réaliser un développement durable dans un pays.
