Urban space and migration of inhabitants

One of the long-term consequences of globalization is migration of people towards big cities and expansion of agglomeration zones. It leads to continuous changes in the character and functions of urban space as well as in mobility patterns between cities and their hinterlands.

The current applications focus on these questions in the case of the Czech capital, Prague. They consider both evolution within the city (especially residential changes) and the nature of its hinterlands and mobility of the people living there.
