ABSTRACT
Urbanization in centrally planned economies takes place under other conditions than in market economies and displays a number of particular features. Theories elaborated from studies in market economies are of limited use when applied to centrally planned economies. Yet, centrally planned urbanization has received little attention by western scholars. The focus of the present paper is on post-WW II urbanization in Romania. Following a discussion on some of the implications of central planning on urbanization and on the means available for policy implementation, the actual development is studied in the light of the official policies.
