INTRODUCTION TO GROWTH POLE THEORY
History:
- 17th century by the work of the English economist, philosopher and scientist William Petty (1623-1687)
- In the 20th century, with the work of the French economist François Perroux (1950), that the concept was more extensively elaborated.
- Perroux argued that growth does neither appear uniformly nor all at once within nations; it rather occurs around a specific poles.
Sir William Petty Sir François Perroux
Theory:
- It must and will first develop within itself one or several regional centers of economic strength. (Perroux, 1950).
- “points of economic growth or centers of economic activity that benefit from agglome ration economies, and through their
interaction with surrounding areas spread prosperity from the core to the periphery.”
- The concentration of economic activity does not necessarily bring agglomeration effects and productivity gains. Concentration may
increase the possibility of agglomeration but coordination between economic agents may be required for this potential to be realized.
include complementary investments in infrastructure, targeted skills development or the establishment of more effective institutions
for the coordination of relevant activities.
- Francis Perroux formalized the grow comes from poles, spread along diverse channels, Thus the concept viewed the economic
development process as essentially polarized, in the sense that forces inherent in the development process worked towards polarization
of economic activities.

Types of Polarization:
- Technical polarization, when an industry, through the flow of goods and incomes which it is able to generate, stimulates the growth

of other industries related to it.

- Income polarization, when an industry determines the prosperity of the services industry by means of the incomes it generates.

- Geographical polarization, when an industry stimulates an increase of the regional economy by causing a progressive concentration

of new activities.
 CASE STUDY OF TETE, MOZAMBIQUE, EAST AFRICA
Introduction:
- Tete Province (pop. 1.8 million) is attracting large investments in megaprojects in the energy and mining sectors. In energy, Africa‘s fourth
longest river, the Zambezi, has significant hydroelectric potential.
- In mining, international mining companies have targeted the region‘s minerals and metals, including thermal coal, gold, iron, vanadium,
titanium, and uranium. Tete‘s coal deposits—thought to be the world‘s largest unexploited reserves were identified more than a century
ago but have stayed largely unexploited due the logistical challenges of getting the coal to international markets.

Sector wise Growth poles in Tete :

- Mineral resources: Improve knowledge, encourage local value addition, and promote SME development, mining mechanization, and the
establishment of associations.
Agriculture: Promote the use of cattle in land cultivation, develop irrigation systems, update the land registry, revive the rural trade network, to ensure
Tete Province: Cultivated Areas and Mining Sites
food security.
- Fisheries: Establish vocational training centers, promote the establishment of fishermen‘s associations, introduce zoning in the Cahora-Bassa Lake,
and develop technologies for fishing, processing, and preservation.
- Tourism: Extend the hotel network, promote conservation areas for ecotourism, and develop services such as heritage, cultural, community, leisure,
and sport fishing tourism. Conclusion:
Infrastructure support for economic development: Energy , Transport and communications. - The Case study focuses on the
Committed investments from 2005 to 2009:
Development of potential growth poles and
make investments in the sector and also
focusing on secondary poles to ensure the
infrastructure development near the primary
growth poles, As the Committed Investments
increases from 2005 to 2009 in the growth
Sector wise growth poles in Tete
poles the Implementation of theory is
Succeeded the Tete.
APPLICATION IN DIU
The Diu Well Know for its Heritage and Architecture values and history, It has Potential to Attract the Tourist from national and international, so focusing on its Potential Growth Poles
according to the Growth pole Theory and as it describes not only focusing on primary poles but also Secondary Growth poles as for Example the tourism attracts agglomeration of the
Commercial activities around the Primary Growth pole and Focusing on Mining where the Requirement of the Energy increases Which is the Secondary growth pole of mining, Focusing
on the Agriculture where increase demand of Water Infrastructure can be a Secondary Growth pole, The basic infrastructure Development which relate to growth poles are also need to be
focused to achieve the Economic growth at regional level.
