Settlement network development policy and urbanisation in Hungary in the 20th century.
"The paper brings out the role of political economy in influencing the process of urbanisation and [the] structure of settlement network. This is demonstrated through an empirical study of Hungary during the twentieth century. Three phases get easily distinguished: pre-1949 or the period of changes in the state boundaries; 1949-89 or the period of state socialism; and post-1989 or the period of institutional reform.  An interesting finding is that there was a bias in favour of large cities and county seats in allocation of development funds under all the regimes."
