Klusáček, Petr ; Martinát, Stanislav ; Matznetter, W. ; Wisbauer, A.
Conceptually, this paper is based upon the CURB model of city region development set out by VAN DEN BERG et al. in 1982. Empirically, our paper tries to expand the original study in both time and space. In time, we are updating developments to the most recent population register data available (2007), but we also go back in urban history to the first modern census held in the Habsburg empire (1869). In terms of geographical coverage, we are adding data on the three largest mononuclear city regions in the Czech Republic, i.e. Prague, Brno and Plzen, to the three largest city regions in Austria, i.e. Vienna, Graz and Linz (these had already been included in the original CURB study).
