The recovery of the plans prepared for developing the resettlement started at the turn of the 1940s and 50s, in the historical period when the all pervading socialist planning was dominant. In the beginning the regional planning was directed by the heavy industry centric politics but the ideological political purposes of the 1950s were also important. The resettlements were only considered as the company seats of industrial units in those years and it determined the main directions of the developments and the investments, as well. The idea of the towns’ and villages’developing was followed by the concept of having them developed and also the operation was followed by the idea of setting them into operation. The many- coloured resettlement with its specialities arised from its cultural and geographical qualites became the same sort because of the standard design of the system-built concrete houses. Later the purposes of the resettlement’s developement depended on the official political and economical reforms. This heavy industry centered model was changed by a balanced regional development from the 1960s as the supply of the inhabitants and increasing the living standards became instrumental in the politics instead of concentrating only on the production. In spite of all these efforts the system was not able to renew and reinterpret itself. The regional planning remained an organised from above structure which determined its purposes on the basis of ideas. 220
