| Abstract: | Polish regional policy and planning has long traditions and post-war socialist policies demonstrate important continuities with the 1930s. Regional policy since 1945 has progressed from sets of individual decisions on reconstruction through more coordinated policies for uniform development, for rational location and for activation of backward regions. Lack of adequate coordination and rigorous accounting, though, often meant excessive concentration of development in existing industrial areas and key urban centres. In the 1960s fashionable growthpole concepts were applied to medium-sized city development without maintaining adequate balance between continued growth in larger cities and new smaller-town development. Reform, long overdue, is required to implement the national spatial plan for the 1990s. |
