Post-War Regional Planning - The French Silicon Valley

Abstract

This dissertation is a study of French regional planning policies with specific reference to the Rhone-Alpes region. In particular it studies Grenoble and her science-based industries and research laboratories. It is a critical analysis of the development of this region and of the factors behind its emergence as the French 'silicon valley.' Ever closer ties to Europe with increasing pressure for Anglo-French collaboration plus the impending impact of 1992 lead to the need for a closer awareness of French technical strategy and history. The Royal Signals and Radar Establishment in England has significant links with the Grenoble area, and this memorandum has been made available to provide useful and relevant background. (KR)
