| Description |
Globalisation “takes” its victims, which the authors believe means that the futureof small- and medium-sized towns has become uncertain in Europe. The roleof centres is continuously increasing, and most researchers prefer to analysethe competitiveness and innovativeness of metropolitan areas. In this study,we characterise the small- and medium-sized towns in the central–easternEuropean region as well as explore their possible development path. The authorsare convinced that one way for these towns to survive is through strengtheningof innovation abilities, which means increasing the innovation performances ofeconomic stakeholders and new forms of interaction among other institutionsin order to handle social problems. The theoretical starting point is theinterpretation and presentation of the micropolitan (without big towns) regionsas well as understanding the concept of technological and social innovation. Asthe result of the research, the innovation measurements carried out in some ofthe settlements will be represented. These experiences can help the small- andmedium-sized towns keep up with global competition and cancel migration anderosion of intellectual potential.
