Abstract

France possesses an increasingly rich and diverse experience of new towns, following their planning and development over fifteen years. Growth rates vary between the towns, bat in all cases expansion has been slower than anticipated. Various social, economic and political problems have arisen, not least the untimely launching of the new towns just prior to an extended period of recession. However, in certain instances their size and influence are now considerable, reflecting a substantial base of employment and services. In assessing progress, discussion is centred upon the issues of demographic and economic expansion, financial and administrative constraints and the varying attitudes amongst those responsible for managing the new towns.
