Keywords: urbanization, urban functions, global cities, FDI, Central Europe, Southeast Europe

The background of the current research is that despite the existence of a vast amount of literature devoted to the study of post-socialist transition processes, there is a relative scarcity of international comparative analyses on Central and Southeast European metropolises. The research seeks to explore FDI-driven transformation and development processes in Central and Southeast European regional centres in the post-transition period. The geographical focus of the analysis is limited to Central and Southeast European post-socialist states, while the scale of the analysis targets the metropolitan and regional level. The present study provides a brief summary of the first phase of the research constituted by literature review.
