Résumé 0

Two complementary forces influence the urban systems of Bulgaria and Romania: the inertia of the urban hierarchy versus international openness. These two forces herald qualitative changes, which may give rise to a new characteristic: polycentrism. Whether spontaneous or a planned policy, polycentrism would be an alternative solution to the centrality of the capitals, which, caught up in metropolisation process, are incapable of coordinating balanced, cohesive development of the national territories.
