Types of development paths and the hierarchy of the regional centres of Central and Eastern Europe

Summary/Abstract: After the rapid transformation period of the 1990s, determined predominantly by the crisis effects of a radical political-economic transition, the reshaping of the spatial structure and urban networks slowed in the post-socialist countries of Central and Eastern Europe. The spillover effects of the market economy transition are fading, and cannot be generalized. Instead, other factors, such as involvement in global processes and the creation and exploitation of new types of synergies, become the main drivers of the differentiation and development in the urban system. This study attempts to explore the framework and specifics of this new environment by exam-ining resources for development in the Eastern and Central European regional centres.
