Synopsis

The papers included in this volume represent a series of contributions on the history of urbanization. Offering an instructive discussion of fundamental concepts, processes and measurement problems, the introduction summarizes findings in latest research and goes on to detect new topics, currently of particular interest which are reflected in the choice of contributions to the volume. These focus on four principal areas of contemporary research on urbanization: urban networks, town-country economic links, migration and demographic patterns. New areas of analysis, such as the study of migration flows by age, sex or social group, and the comparative east/west approach of several of the papers serve to broaden the traditional scope of research and stimulate further work in the field.
