The purpose of this paper is the evaluation of regional development planning and policy in France.
Space in France has for a long time been characterizde by the close relations which exist between rural areas and towns, with their numerous interrelations.
But France experienced a rather late phase of accelerated urbanization, which increased the dominating role of the towns in spatial organization.
Regional inequalities in France stem largely from an overconcentration of social and economic power in the capital, Paris.
The current operation of planning in France must be seen in the context of three major factors.
First, France has the greatest land area of any of the EEC nations, with a population of 53 million.
Secondly, France has a specific structure and hierarchy of goverment, both central and local.
Thirdly, the national code of written planning law is mainly administered by agents of the national goverment.
Responsibility for planning is shared between central goverment through its regional and subregional or ?? offices, and the lowest level of local government, that of the communes.
The sharing of responsibilities for planning between central and local government sometimes leads to conflict due to their having opposing objectives.
This may explain the presence of large numbers of joint and ad hoc agencies and commissions that exist at various levels.
