Abstract
- When detaching oneself from this picture that cities in East Central Europe were “outdated,” one is quick to recognize that cities there were emerging and became at least regional metropolises. Hence, the article assumes that their development and rise took place because of a productive and dynamic reciprocal relationship between knowledge transfer and urban as well as social modernization, which developed in a tight conjunction with rising national movements. Starting from an analysis of recent research on East Central European cities, the article introduces knowledge transfer as an important, broadening perspective on the cities there, because it focuses on main factors establishing a multilayered connection between knowledge transfer and urban development in the modern age.
