Model ; Space time ; Spatial system ; System ; Urban change ; Urban geography ; Urban system
The cellular automaton represents a hypothetical linear city as an analytic tool to investigate possible transition rules and to draw some implications for urban change.

Baltic Europe is a notion that frequently appears in academic, as well as policy-oriented literature devoted to spatial aspects of the European integration process. This article reports on summary results of a research project on : Urban Systems
and Urban Networking in the Baltic Sea Region, which was carried out within the framework of the INTERREG II C programme, sponsored by the EU. In particular, developments concerning the morphology of urban systems and the distribution of economic functions

From a regionally-based economic approach, the AA. argue that these rural areas act as flanking areas for the nearby urban areas. A model representing local economic development can only be relevant if it takes into account this urban-rural

The paper explores the transition in Barcelona's city council's urban policy during 20 years of uninterrupted political control. It focuses on several trends within Maragall's period in office (1982-97) and argues that issues of leadership

Possibilities of GIS in climate researches, especially in urban climate are invaluable. The paper presents brief information about current possibilities of new GIS techniques for urban climate researches and also GIS as decision support system among
other things for spatial planning of urban areas. - (BJ)
