Summary/Abstract: The spatial layouts of former border railway urbanized centers are presented from an interdisciplinary perspective referring to fields such as socio-economic geography, historical studies, urban planning, architecture, industry, migration, and cultural diversity. The monograph integrates historical studies of urbanized centers developed as a result of the influence of a railway station and state border with the problem of contemporary spatial development of the surroundings of such railway stations as cultural heritage. In addition, the book proposes a model and typological approach explaining the processes taking place in the studied urbanized centers.
