Abstract

The author maintains that the European cities have been transformed into urban regions which will change drastically in the future. The contemporary urban regions are a product, a minor and an evolutionary stage of industrial society. In the future other pre-conditions will govern the urban areas. The re-birth of the city centers is a possibility while a further sub-urbanization represents yet another possibility. This essay addresses three themes: the actual socio-economic dynamics, how this affects the urban areas and which decisions might be good for future urban development.
