Urbanisation in Eastern and South-Eastern Europe

The intention of the publisher of this thematic collection is to present the process of urbanisation in Eastern and Southeastern Europe, particularly in the areas inhabited by Serbs and Russians over a broad chronological span -from the early Middle Ages to the modern era.According to the authors, the urbanisation process primarily involves the development of cities, but in a broader context, it also includes all other settlements.We believe that the authors' scientific results will show that geographical, political, economic, social and demographic factors have significantly influenced the urbanisation process in Southeastern Europe, the Balkans and Russia.This international thematic collection consists of two major thematic sections: urbanisation and spatial planning in medieval Serbia, as well as the Principality and Kingdom of Serbia in the 19th and early 20th centuries, and northeastern Russia in the Middle Ages, and the political, social and demographic processes and circumstances in the Balkans, the Habsburg Monarchy, Russia and the Soviet Union from the 18th to the late 20th century.The collection contains 14 papers authored by historians, demographers, geographers and architects from Serbia -the Institute of History Belgrade, the Geographical Institute "Jovan Cvijić" of the Serbian Academy
