| Abstract: | This paper employs a core-periphery perspective to review regional planning theory and examine the spatial dynamics in Appalachian development which span 25 years of Appalachian Regional Commission programs. Improved conditions, defined by increasing incomes in counties, are examined. The region is conceptualized as comprising two exterior peripheries and an interior periphery. This perspective is valuable in illustrating the region's development and for further planning efforts in Appalachia. |
