This research aims to clarify and discuss the spatial impacts of Sudanese theoretical bases of development and the relevant designated policies where it was revealed that both the development theoretical base and regional development policies have relevance to the many central problems of Sudan. They included disparate regional development; environmental degradation; rural impoverishment; the production of the agrarian duality of a modern and developed irrigated agricultural sector and a traditional and backward rain-fed agricultural sector; conflict over resources; food insecurity; and socio-political instability. This research views these problems as due mainly to the alienation of development planning from Sudan’s internal reality.
