Abstract: Abstract The stepwise reduction and final elimination of economic borders within the Europe of the Single Market developing into the European Economic and Currency Union, a process intensified by the opening of East-West relationships and upcoming Eastern extension of the European Union, has already brought stimulating impulses to many economic activities. It results, however, not only in a strengthening of competition and the consequent restructuring in most markets for commodities and services, but also leads to a new, higher level of competition for resources between urban regions.
