    AnnotationConceptually, this paper is based upon the CURB model of city region development set out by VAN DEN BERG et al. in 1982. Using a very simple and formal typology of population changes within cores and rings of functional urban regions (FURs), it was originally applied to a sample of 189 FURs in 14 countries across Europe, for the years between 1950 and 1975. Empirically, our paper tries to expand the original study in both time and space. In time, we are updating developments to the population register data from 2007, but we also go back in urban history to the first modern census held in the Habsburg Empire (1869). In terms of geographical coverage, we are adding data on the three largest mononuclear city regions in the Czech Republic, i.e. Prague, Brno and Plzeň, to the three largest city regions in Austria, i.e. Vienna, Graz and Linz (these had already been included in the original CURB study). By using a unitary delimitation of urban cores, urban rings and urban regions across the Czech-Austrian border, this paper tries to create a harmonized data basis for interpretation and debate.
