    Gaston Defferre (1910–1986) was a French politician, former Mayor of Marseille, Minister of Spatial Planning, and Minister of the Interior and of Decentralization. He was one of the main architects of the 1982 decentralization (the law bearing his name), which granted more responsibilities to regional authorities across France. The 1980s were also the decade of the creation of Scientific, Technological and Industrial Culture Centres in each region.
