Modeling and Planning Polycentric Urban Region: The Case of the Czech Republic
Original language description
The aim of the paper is to approach analytical, as well as normative, aspects of polycentric regional patterns. The essential step is to define the polycentric urban regions within the Czech Republic settlement system, using the analyses of work commuting flows. At this point, two questions arise. First, are the relational polycentric systems, i.e. the systems based on reciprocal commuting flows between the centers, reflected also in the spatial pattern of other types of intraregional relations and ties? Second, is the analytically identified polycentric pattern a precondition for introducing polycentricity as a normative regional planning tool? Deeper investigation carried out in two of delimited polycentric regions brings a clearer view into the nature of PURs (Most, Teplice, Ústí nad Labem in Northern Bohemia is the PUR integrating medium sized cities; Česká Třebová, Ústí nad Orlicí PUR in Eastern Bohemia consists primarily of small centres).
