Receiving the prestigious town rank is only an administrative procedure, although it is highly mystified by the applicants and winners. The pool of villages competing, and towns receiving nowadays the rank present a heterogeneous group of settlements with unique characters. Some of them has been waiting for the progress for decades and the recent legislature provided them the opportunity, while others’ massive development were fuelled by the forces of strong suburbanisation.

The authors’ contribution is fundamented by practical, first hand experiences gained from their consultancy work with around fifty municipalities in the past decade. The study makes an attempt to confute and partly revise some vulgar errors in connection with the abovementioned process, which are widely shared even by academic circles. Our main point and firm belief is that in spite of the deficiencies of the present process it does possess values to be preserved, while any kind of attempts for the reform is politically complicated, its professional outcome is doubtful, and could not result totally clear and definite circumstances.

During the past two decades fundamental changes occurred both in legal and practical terms. Newly emerging impacts altered the ongoing processes forming the settlement network. The settlement and regional policy itself is not only new in its priorities, philosophy or approach, but also in its tools, methods etc. Settlements experienced the above changes in sharply different ways: their hierarchy level, relative position, functions and size differentiated them widely according to their adaptation tools among new condition. The present study analyses the main (de jure and de facto) implications of the change in the past twenty years.

Ageing population, decreasing number of live births, decreasing population size are commonly used terms when analysing the demographic profile of our country. This simplified picture can be modulated and coloured with the help of spatial data. In spite of the comparatively small-sized and relatively homogenous structure of Hungary, several differences can be found. The network of small towns could be an obvious and representative sample for the spatial investigations since it almost totally covers the area of Hungary, it is numerous enough but still easy to handle. Within a Hungarian geographical context, settlements having a maximum of 30,000 inhabitants and possessing city rank can be defined as small towns. Because of their size and functions, small towns are sensitive enough to illustrate the national demographic tendencies, but they are numerous enough to be split into different groups according to their remarkably diverse character. Traditional historic small towns widely differ from the ones located in the rapidly urbanising agglomerations, even though the socialist new towns, having similar origin, reflect significant demographic variants.
