| Synopsis: |
By focusing on the somewhat neglected but dynamic Central and South-East European region, this book develops an understanding and a theoretical basis of urban functions, networks, competition and governance. It addresses these topics contextually, through case studies situated in Poland, Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Slovenia and Serbia. The themes range from polycentricity, metrpolisation and cross-border networking to territorial governance and capital, urban cohesion and development, and the impact of major international programs such as INTERREG IIIB. The selection provides a comprehensive coverage both of the region and of these key topics. It is unusual for social scientists to be presented with such dramatic urban change as has been witnessed over the past two decades in the Central and South-East European region. A great deal can be learned from this transitional period about the processes that shape and pattern social, economic and spatial change in cities and the particular role of urban networks as they relate to urban and regional policy. This book analyses the urban functional dynamics and connectivities as the transitional processes reach maturity and produce tangible outcomes. In doing so, it not only provides a valuable illustration of the post-Communist experience, but, by taking a comparative approach informed by the 'urban nexus' metaphor, and drawing on a broad conceptual framework and fresh empirical evidence, it contributes to the ongoing discussions about the nature of post-communism, its spatial manifestations, relevant urban and regional policy and planning, and, indeed, the wider literature on urban networking. It is a book which can be read at a number of different levels; the value of the individual contributions in themselves, the comparison of Central and South-East European urban networks and their broader contexts, urban governance and planning, and as essays in the processes of socioeconomic, historical, and institutional change in cities and urban regions. |
