Abstract

In his book Patrick McCully asks the question whether the con­struction of large dams actually do stimulate development in un­derdeveloped areas. He comes to the same conclusion as Jane Jacobs (1994: 110) and Peter Hall (1988: 163), namely that those projects rather have a detrimental effect on regional develop­ment than otherwise. One of the best examples according to him is the so called Tennessee Valley Authority project in the USA.
