“…Authors such as Kunzmann (1996), Faludi (1996), Neuman (19962000), Dühr (2004Dühr ( , 2006, Zonneveld (2008), Thierstein & Förster (2008), Van Duinen (2004 and De Jonge (2009) acknowledge that planning images are powerful media in decision making processes on high levels of scale and in complex organisational settings. Amongst these authors there is agreement that their influence can be attributed to the fact that images are open for multiple interpretations and thus perform as 'institution builders', as Neuman (1996, p. 293) labels them.…”

“…We argue that the description 'Bunch of Grapes' by Kunzmann & Wegener (1991) and Kunzmann (1992;1996) includes change and the visualisation of development (Figure 3). By focusing on the polycentric spatial structure, urban development and the dynamic change of urban areas can be highlighted (Szabó 2009).…”

How can spatial location affect the operation of society, population or economic conditions? What is the role of neighbourhood and distance in social phenomena? In what way can a social organisation limit spatial barriers? How would spatial structures be affected by the attraction and repulsion of territorial units? Does society only use or also design regions? These questions are explored in this study.This work analyses some important issues, concepts and analysis procedures of the territorial structure of society and social processes of spatiality. It does not contain a comprehensive theory of spatiality and regional science; it is primarily a practical empirical research.Many theoretical works aim at defining the spatial structure of Europe. This article provides an overview of models describing the spatial structure of Europe. The study describes the economic spatial structure of Europe using bi-dimensional regression analysis, based on the gravity model. The spatial structure of Europe is illustrated with the help of the gravity model and spatial auto-correlation. With these patterns, it is possible to justify the appropriateness of the models based on different methodological backgrounds by comparing them with the results of this paper.The subject of field theory concepts and methods that can aid regional analyses is examined, and attempts to offer a synthesised knowledge with a wide variety of examples and methods.

“…The concepts about the 'global city' allow for the interpretation of all issues from the view of a 'global network" of cities and capitals (Kunzmann 1996,Sassen 2001. Manuel Castells (1989) is one of the most cited authors regarding his theory on the 'Space of flows'.…”

The paper aims to illustrate through a local study how the North American suburban townscape appears in a historical small town in Hungary. The core idea is that North American suburbanization resulted in a special suburban townscape. Instead of the traditional structure of towns and cities where the centre and periphery made up certain circles or zones, mobility axes like motorways, airports structure the suburban zone. The first chapters of the paper discuss this process and they can also be read as an independent theoretical essay.The second part of the paper shows the case study of Komárom-Koppánymonostor. Our first question is whether in this case we can speak about a suburban townscape (as a North American type). Finally, we claim that the suburban transformation is by no means a closed chapter seeing today's trends.Thanks to the planned new bridge (Komárom, HU -Komárno, SK), the area of Komárom-Koppánymonostor can dissolve in future in a twin town trans-border suburban townscape. In that case, the suburban zones will get a wider dimension, in their morphology as well as in their economical potential, and they will move closer to the North American patterns.
