These planning measures are presented in the national framework with some help of selected regional examples. Particularly, seven areas of France of varying size (sometimes conforming to official regional boundaries, sometimes not) are chosen to illustrate planning problems such as urban expansion, revitalizing old industrial areas, introducing industry to the impoverished countryside, and managing remote rural areas to cater for future needs. This book will be helpful to sixth-form teachers and undergraduates in this field of interest.
