The A. outlines the simplified urban belts of Budapest with specific features and spatial processes of the population growth and changes. It can be stated that the consequences of the economic transition after 1989 affected these urban belts in very
different ways. The changes, taken place in the social and functional structure of Budapest are displayed by various socio-economic indicators. The sectorial and group interests concerning the spatial development of the town and the different urban belts

An optimisation based approach is developed for evaluating growth and change based upon spatial restrictions and impact thresholds. The spatial optimisation model is integrated with a cellular automata growth simulation process. Application results
Changing influences on the development of the European Community's major urban regions between 1971 and 1988

The paper refines a measure of urban problems developed in previous publications and argues that it approximates to a measure of per capita welfare. It then shows that the change in this measure for the whole period 1971-88 and for three subperiods
, can be related to generic forces for change within the EC, particularly the effects on local economies of the process of European integration, and to the structural characteristics of urban regions and those of the wider regions in which
Climate change, biodiversity and the urban environment : a critical review based on London, UK

This article reviews the range of climate-related threats to biodiversity in the aquatic, intertidal and terrestrial habitats of urban-areas. London is used as a case study to illustrate potential impacts, and to contend that green spaces in cities
could be used by planners to counter climate-related threats to biodiversity, as well as to improve flood control and air quality, and reduce urban heat island effects.

Analyse en composantes principales ; Changement social ; Changement urbain ; Dublin ; Ecologie urbaine ; Evolution démographique ; Irlande ; Quartier ; Statut social ; Structure de l'emploi ; Structure urbaine
Une approche d'écologie factorielle permet d'étudier la nature et la géographie du changement social urbain dans la région de Dublin. Identification de quatre dimensions principales : le statut familial, le statut socio-économique, l'évolution
démographique et le vieillissement-retraite. Bien que l'on enregistre une stabilité globale dans la région urbaine entre ces deux dates, des variations spatiales significatives assimilables à un changement apparaissent localement.
