title: Structural change in a system of urban places:  the 20th-century evolution of Hungary's urban settlement network.
abstract: A review of urban change in Hungary in the twentieth century is presented.  Both the traditional approach to studying urban change, involving changes in the percentage of those residing in urban areas, and the newly developed approach, focusing on regional aspects of urbanization, are used in the analysis.  "In sharp contrast to most European countries Hungary is shown to evidence continued centralization of urban development, but the recent experience of Budapest and other indicators are said to portend future decentralization."
