dc.description.abstractThis study deals with the effects of the Alberta Government's office decentralization policy, for the period 1971 to 1985. A review of the controls and policies used by other governments throughout the world who have tried to influence office location, provides the background to the case study of Alberta. The focus of the empirical study is upon the timing of government policy to decentralize its own staff, the offices affected, and the impact upon local employment and population growth. It will be shown that a policy of "scatter" has been employed m Alberta. Yet the concentration of government employment in the Alberta urban system has only been marginally affected, although some individual communities have gained substantially. Few efforts seem to have been made by the government to determine which types of offices are suitable for relocation, and which communities are appropriate as reception centres, so as to maximize the benefits from this policy initiative.
