Although it has been around since 1975, this study is still timely and deserves the attention of anyone who is, or pretends to be, interested in the often misunderstood exercises of social planning and economic development. Paul Pross neatly pinpoints the problems that can arise when governments place development ahead of planning, when job creation is given priority over the impact of new industry on a community and its people. The Nova Scotia communities of Port Hawkesbury and Bridgewater, are both relatively small. The essential difference between them is that the former is an unsophisticated fishing community turned suddenly into a major ice-free deepwater port with the construction of the Canso Causeway and the latter is a more complex, diversified and sophisticated community with a recognized commercial and business centre
