Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to assess the influence of two Czech metropolises – Brno and Prague - on the cohesion of the region, in which they are located. The economic, demographic and group of indicators representing the parameters of living conditions are evaluated. Particular attention is paid to so-called non-satellite districts in the Central Bohemian and South Moravian Regions. In particular, dispersion and localization of selected indicators is analysed. It appears that the presumed dominance of the capital city of Prague in Central Bohemia is the cause of higher dispersion in economic indicators, but not in terms of the attractiveness index. On the other hand, it seems that Brno (so far) is not able to spread its positive effects to the environment as Prague, and its non-satellite districts show a worse situation in the parameters of living conditions.
