Скачать или смотреть Reginar: Small towns in local and regional development - functions and contemporary challenges

The second 2023 session of Reginar, of our webinar series took place on 23. March 2023 at 11:00. The webinar focused on the theoretical, methodical, and practical issues related to the development of small towns and neighbouring countryside. Small towns play a very important role in spatial structure by performing numerous significant developmental functions for rural areas. At the local scale, they act as engines for economic growth of rural regions and as a link in the system of connections between large urban centres and the countryside. The webinar addressed the role of small towns in the local development of regions in countries with different levels of development and economic systems, the functional structure of small towns, relations between small towns and rural areas, and the challenges of spatial planning in the context of shaping the development of small towns.

Speaker of this session was Prof. Jerzy Bański, co-refernts were Réka Horeczki and József Lennert, the moderator was Péter Balogh.
