This essay deals with the weak and unstable urbanization process of the Town Falkenberg. The aim has been to explore how a new Town could be established just a kilometre away from the Town (Old) Falkenberg and what kind of meaning the Town had in relationship to the Towns Halmstad and Varberg. This was made through the study of the political situation in Denmark and Sweden during the 15th century and through a comparison of the Town churches. The archaeological material of Falkenberg is very small and thus I had to trust the available historical literature about the Town.Not much of the oldest history of the Town is known, but a conflict between the landed aristocratic family Thott and the king Kristian I in Denmark has been interpreted as a reason to the establishing of the Town. In conclusion the survey showed that the king probably established New Falkenberg in purpose to limit the trading possibilities of Thott and to, at the same time, increase his own power in the district.

The analysis establishes that the current regulations regarding out-of-Town retailing do not, due to the occurrence of market failures, produce an optimal situation. It might therefore be necessary to change the planning policies in a more restrictive direction.

Using the example of 55 former Towns in Greater Poland, the author investigates the belief thatTowns formerly deprived of Town privileges are the most likely to be qualified as future formalurban entities. This paper approaches the subject of urban deprivation and restitution with amultiaspectual study of the concept of urbanity. Since a preponderance of Polish degraded Townspossess a prominent urban physical structure, the study focuses mainly on urban morphology as acontributing factor to urbanity. Other approaches include the central place theory, demographicconditions and the role of urban perception. Taking into account Poland?s shifting geopoliticalhistory the study also seeks to identify and explain spatial patterns of varying degrees of urbanityamong the studied Towns.
