Current urbanization trends in Poland are analyzed. "In the first part of the article the author presents the changes in the settlement network in 1945-1980 together with the process of concentration of population. In the second part he describes the influence exerted by the big and average towns." (SUMMARY IN ENG AND RUS)

The author discusses different methods of urban analysis, using the example of Mexico City, Mexico. "In this work two outlines are used: a concentric one that reflects the city's expansion and a segregated one that sees the 'different cities' within. We analyze the commercial occupation of central areas and the growth due to the expansion of the periphery from 1950 to 1986. In both processes, the massive expulsion of the inhabitants appears, firstly as an effect and secondly as a cause. This fact serves as an argument to explore certain proposals in a prospective dimension. In the technical [spatial] analysis we generally avoid the design of the city itself. Here we approach some design ideas without forgetting their social dimension." (SUMMARY IN ENG)
"The large cities of Switzerland have lost population for the last twenty to thirty years. Now it appears that the number of employers and jobs may also start to stagnate, or even decline. At the present time the large Swiss cities have a population with an unbalanced demographic and economic structure.... It is important that the cities remember that their inhabitants are part of the tax base and try to achieve a population structure that will not burden them in the effort to compete in a changing economic environment. Failure to do so could result in long-term economic decline for some core cities." (SUMMARY IN ENG AND FRE)

"The purpose of this paper is to investigate locations in which rapid urban growth occurred in Russia over the period 1989 to 1996....Particular emphasis will be given to the geographical patterns, economic functions, and population size of rapidly growing towns. In addition, the discussion of trends for 1989-1996 also will be briefly preceded by and compared to those of 1979-1989, although the paper will emphasize trends during the 1990s. Furthermore, the topic of ¿new towns', which themselves often are rapidly growing centers, will be addressed as well."

This article reviews "the forces underpinning Chinese urbanization.... This paper is divided into two main parts. The first addresses the (non-spatial) causal mechanisms between 1949 and 1977. Neither the ideological, the class, nor the economic formulation has touched on the more systemic mechanisms related to the socialist state and the shortage economy. This paper attempts to redress the imbalance by examining the advantages of combining Kornai's shortage model with Foucault's concept of governmentality. By drawing on concepts of spatial contingency, spatial boundary and locality effects, the second part of the paper argues that spatial relations do play significant roles in revealing Chinese urbanisation policies and patterns."
