Innerstädtische Geschäftszentren in Stuggart. Vorläufige Mitteilungen über einen methodischen Ansatz Inner-urban business centres in Stuttgart. Preliminary remarks on a new analytical approach
The paper analyses the various branches of retail business. Disregarding the inner area of Stuttgart, which is being totally restructured at the present time, the object of this study has been the rest of the whole Stuttgart town area. The main
purpose of this study is to analyse 78 Stuttgart business centres and to set up and exactly define 6types of business agglomerations (without those of the Central Business District and the subcity). A definition of the types is attempted by only taking

will be contrasted to those of the central places in non-town areas in order to point out identical features and functions of supply by retail business. (HSC).
