Abstract
Urban system in the Central Europe has changed under the progress of market economy in the former socialist countries. As large cities including capitals have gained investments and developed, suburbanization has developed and metropolitan areas has been formed. Capitals have become primate city within each country, and urban linkage in local area has emerged between former iron curtain. The integration of EU and globalization have connected cities in the former socialist countries to cities in the Western Europe. The improvement of transportation network and information network will accelerate these changes and enlarge the disparities between cities.
