dc.description.abstract | An evaluation of the Volta river project as a growth pole in the development of the Ghanaian economy is the growth pole concept states that economic growth does not appear everywhere all at once, that it is initiated within a growth pole which exists in economic space, defined as “centres from which centrifugal forces emanate and to which centripetal forces are attracted. Each centre being a centre of attraction and repulsion has its proper field which is set in the field of all other centres.” Growth poles are thus located not in geographical spaces but in centres of this field of forces. Economic growth occurs in these poles, and the “connections between the poles, in terms of the flows of: inputs and outputs, transmit the forces generated.” Growth poles are thus likely to be firms or industries or a complex of firms or industries. | en |
