Document Summary
They were not really at the center of world affairs. And the west is moving in too, i. e. , forging links. You should read the history of the development of the eastern european cities, especially during the communist era (not for examination) It did not urbanize as fast as other places in europe but there were exceptions. Some expansion of cities within certain historical periods. Wwii destroyed so many people and cities and culture and art; it is a point to consider for dubrovnik, which underwent its own war a few short years ago. So, there was a lot of rebuilding to do; and it was done under communist rule; so the new morphology of cities took on definitive socialist/communist characteristics. Prague is one of the few to emerge intact. Lots of boundary changes in wwii that had an impact on the cities" development. After wwii the communists went into central plans and 5-year plans.
