Abstract

Ajka is one of the 11 cities in Hungary that started to grow in the 1950s as „children of industry”, most of which suffered an economic and social decline after the de-industrialization trends in the late 1980s and after the political changes in 1990. It really counts as a new city that has grown from a small mining viliágé with only of 6 thousand inhabitants before the Second War to a city above 3 0 thousand. As has been the case in other new industrial cities (such as Tatabánya, and Salgótarján) state-socialistic policies promoted alsó Ajka, as a “workers' city”, to develop intő a Central piacé in its area.
