	Balázs A. Szelényi \| The Dynamics of Urban Development: Towns in Sixteenth and Seventeenth-Century Hungary \| ...
		A careful look at urban evolution in Hungary during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries does indicate that some towns were subjugated to noble rule in the sixteenth century, but that fact did not signify urban decline.
		This urban dynamism continued into the 1520s, and in 1521 the town possessed a public bath, a curia for the common people, and a new schoolhouse; in 1523, a clock was installed in the church tower.

	WorldBank: Development Outreach
		Urban areas have outperformed rural areas during the last century on almost every dimension of economic development, whether the rate of innovation, speed of demographic transition, levels of education, health, life expectancy, infant mortality, or access to clean water and sanitation.
		Many urban areas in the world are not functioning well, especially where cities are growing not because they are themselves economically dynamic, but because their rural hinterlands are in such distress.
		The urban applied research and policy agenda is therefore to make the urbanization process work more effectively, so that urban areas become true engines of growth and livable environments for the rising proportion of humanity that will be in cities in this century.

	Conference at USD: "Art and the Fragmentation of Urban Space: Gated Communities, Global Links, Non-Places" ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Most urban centers, since the 1980’s, have been built in an historical and geographical vacuum, detached from the social, political, and functional contexts of traditional cities—perhaps not unlike the detachment of the Post-Kantian concept of ‘art’ in a museum as an object of pure contemplation.
		The autonomous urban fragment is said to be “ageographic” (Sorkin), hermetically sealed from its actual locality, often inaccessible to its immediate vicinity, and yet connected to a vast network of “non-places” (Auge), conspicuous in the uncanny repetition of identical malls, theme parks and airports across the world.
		Since the urban fragment is developed at once as a spectacle, it often parodies a past as nostalgia, and yet offers its visitors neither memory, nor duration: it appears as a commentary on an idea of urbanity that no longer is or that never was.

		The creative class, according to economist Richard Florida and his colleagues who work together on indicators of urban economic growth, are those individuals with the most individual capital.
		The need to control the "creative class appeal" of urban areas is often cited by advocates of more urban autonomy, even urban secession.
		An objection to these indicators is that uneconomic growth can also be a cause of GDP increases - including the general shift of entertainment or conflict resolution from one's social circle to professionals, which might just as easily mean a decrease in social capital as an increase in individual capital.

	Harvard University Press/The Urban Origins of Suburban Autonomy
		Using the urbanized area that spreads across northern New Jersey and around New York City as a case study, this book presents a convincing explanation of metropolitan fragmentation--the process by which suburban communities remain as is or break off and form separate political entities.
		The process has important and deleterious consequences for a range of urban issues, including the weakening of public finance and school integration.
		The book thus shows that the roots of the urban crisis can be found in the interplay between technology, politics, and public works in the American city.
