Contemporary tendencies of population development of metropolitan areas in Czechia: Is an important turn coming?
2009
Abstract
Population development of metropolitan areas in the Czech Republic demonstrates in recent years a certain turn – since 2002 these territorial units grow again and increase their share on the population of the country. When compared with the long-term development, though, those changes are rather insignificant.
Their explanation comes mainly from the regional differentiation of economics formed in the first ten years of transformation period. There is a dominant influence of the external migration, whereas the migration mobility of domestic population remains still at a low level
