POLICIES FOR REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT IN NEW ZEALAND
Edited by G. A. Town
124 p.
$3.50
In this book, the authors discuss the criteria which they
feel should determine any sound policies in the field of
regional planning and development. Although many different
points of view are presented, there is unanimity that
economic considerations alone should not dictate future
policy. Essentially, it is for New Zealanders to consider all
the relevant factors and decide what pattern of development
they wish to see emerge. This book is intended as a con-
structive contribution to the public debate currently under
way. Series No. 17. (New Zealand Institute of Public Admin-
