Control over large units in France: THE LOI ROYER AND ITS EFFECTS

Abstract

In 1973 the Loi Royer was passed in France with the object of curbing large‐scale hypermarkets and shopping centres. But although in 1974 and 1975 the rate of large shop openings decreased dramatically this may have been due more to the recession in the French economy than to the effects of the legislation. In this article John Dawson examines in detail the applications for different types of development.
