Abstract

This paper explores the role of the railway and railway stations in the development and structural changes of the towns in the former Austro-Hungarian Monarchy with the aim to create an adequate framework of urban typology. This part of urban typology can serve as a method for identifying different types of Austro-Hungarian towns and is defined by the relationship between the identified urban fabric and the railway.

Keywords
