Title: Észak-magyarországi régió városainak helyzete a magyar városversenyben
Abstract: The past one and a half decades have transformed the special structure of the Northern Hungarian region, changed the socio-economic weights of the settlements, their location potentials and competitiveness. The paper investigates the position of the towns with more than 10,000 inhabitants in the Northern Hungarian region with factor analysis. With the exception of the towns of Rétság, Eger and Tiszaújváros, the rankings of the towns of the region are not very promising, and the positions of the two counties are also included here: Miskolc and Salgótarján. By analysing the regional rankings, the two most developed towns of the region seem to be Eger and Tiszaújváros. It can be concluded that in the backward regions, the main problem is constituted by the unfavourable economic structure and not by the low level of innovation or by the underdeveloped infrastructure in many cases.
