Abstract

The slow, problematic and frequently unsuccessful development of the timber, agricultural and fishing industries in the Denmark area in the early part of the century is contrasted with the rapid postwar growth of tourism and other economic activities. The planning conflicts and problems stemming from this change in the district's economic and demographic fortunes are then considered.
