THE ODER RIVER: TRANSPORT AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

This book presents the importance of transportation in regional development. The main emphasis is on the Oder River as an artery of transportation which is viewed by Polish planners as an important link between Upper Silesia and the maritime port of Szczecin. The river flows through the axis of a highly industrialized part of Poland which produces slightly more than half of the national output. Recently changing technology on the river is revolutionizing the efficiency of waterborne commerce.
