This strategy can limit the territorial expansion of cities and have its effect on the development of the urban subregion. Operations fostering the process of strengthening of the hub city and preventing the ‘escape’ of residents from cities are presented by means of a discussion of an example of a project of transformation of degraded areas, connected with the concept of sustainable development of the city.
