The paper demonstrates the asymmetrical effects of growth pole strategies on area development and planning implications.

This paper explores the dynamics of backwash and spread within growth pole strategies, examining their impact on regional development over time.
Utilized spread and backwash theory to analyze growth pole strategies.
Evaluated the temporal aspects needed for successful implementation.
Discussed potential testing methods for the spillover model.
Identified that net positive spillovers do not occur in the early years of growth pole implementation.
Found that the incidence of spread and backwash is asymmetrical across spaces.
Suggested that long time horizons are necessary for effective growth pole strategies.

Harry W. Richardson (1976) studied this question.
