SERIES: General Editor: D. I. Scargill, University of Oxford. Great economic and social changes have taken place in Europe in recent years, and there has been growing consciousness of the need for regional planning. The magnitude, persistence, and areal extent of consequent problems for specific regions seem to justify studies which identify, analyse and even seek solutions to them. The different regions chosen for this series illustrate a variety of problems such as a harsh environment, contraction of agriculture, isolation, industrial decay, urban congestion, or proximity to a sensitive political frontier. One problem of this kind forms the theme for each study but attention has been drawn to similar problems encountered in other parts of the continent and the reader is encouraged to deduce principles of more general application.
