| Description | One of the characteristic phenomena associated with the current development of civilization is undoubtedly metropolisation, which can be understood as the highest stage of urbanization. In this respect, the article focuses on the Central European macroregion, comprising a total of nine countries. The first part is dedicated to the identification of metropolises, which is based on three components: population size, economic profile and investment attractiveness. On this basis, a total of 27 metropolises were determined. The following part focuses on assessing the integration potential of Visegrad countries metropolises. Based on the application of the gravitational model, 18 metropolitan axes of transnational significance were defined, which correspond to the main flows of international trade. It can be said that metropolitan networks formed after the fall of the “Iron Curtain“ play a fundamental role in the integration of the Visegrad countries within the Central European macroregion. From the practical point of view, the acquired knowledge can be used especially for the creation and implementation of system-based concepts of transnational cooperation. |
