Abstract
Mayhew A. (1969) Regional Planning and the development areas in West Germany, Reg. Studies 3, 73–79. The Regional Development Programme of the Federal German Government was designed to aid the depressed rural areas and the frontier zone on the East German and Czechoslovakian border. The main objective is to attract industry to these regions, so that new employment opportunities can be created and migration prevented. Four regional development plans were also drawn up to tackle some acute local problems. New industrial plant has been attracted to these areas, and especially to the development centres. The recent economic depression brought a major test for the stability of this new plant, and it seems to have survived quite well. Recent large investment in the regional infra-structures should encourage development in the depressed areas in the future.
