“…The identification of megaregions is conducted in a two-step procedure using a sample of 1 251 OECD functional urban areas across for 31 countries (OECD, 2012 [43]). First, functional urban areas -that based on their definition are already reflecting some integration of the urban cores and their commuting zone -are grouped into potential megaregions based on the shortest distances (as the crow flies) between them.…”

“…These advantages support the exceptional position of metropolises as centres of production, exchange and consumption and also strengthen their coordination functions. Big cities logically have suitable conditions for diversification, and, thanks to access to knowledge, also to systematic specialization in sectors with high added value (OECD, 2006). Progressive industry groups taken from the study The Metropolization of the European Urban and Regional System (Krätke, 2006) were used in the basic assessment of the given component.…”

The article deals with the strategically important problems of metropolisation. In this context, it presents a theoretically based method of assessment of metropolises, the explanatory power of which was verified on the example of the Central Europe. This method is based on three components: population size (initial assumption), economic profile (ties to economic performance) and general attractiveness (the perception of development potential). The results of the evaluation of the 27 identified metropolises were generalized using a typology of their inclusion within the framework of the listed components: most metropolises were classified as type B -an established metropolis, followed by type C -an elementary metropolis, and type A -a dominant metropolis. A practically targeted conceptualization is then demonstrated on the example of the Czech Republic. The main attention was focused on the intensity of the economic links of Prague (and two further Czech centres) with other Central European metropolises.
