Résumé anglais Private companies and organisations Semi-public companies play a particularly important role in the economy of the Provence region, where they number no less than thirty-one. Their geographic location is a guide to where regional development activity is centred, i.e. most of the major towns in the region (Marseille, Aix, Martigues, Carpentras, etc.) each have a development company. Most of these are construction companies, although some of them also act as concessionaries for public works or services, or provide the legal framework for operations undertaken by the Administration. However, frequently the setting up of semi-public companies disguises the underlying centralisation of such operations, since management responsibility is assigned to national undertakings. This is a particularly pronounced feature in cases involving the financial participation of highly centralised organisations such as the Caisse des Depots et Consignations. Private companies also play an important part in activities undertaken by the administrative authorities and one which deserves mention is the Company for Land Development and Reallocation which is vested with the powers of a public authority, exercised or supervised by two government representatives. For the most part, these companies are engaged in promoting tourism or urban development and the most typical are : the Low-Cost Housing Company in Marseille, the Development Company for the Hautes-Alpes Departement and the Marseille Fair Company. The author goes on to give a description of the most unusual features of these companies.
