Abstract

[UrbanisationUrbanisation is affectingGovernance not only countries with high number of residents but also with small number. The aim of the research is to explore urbanisationUrbanisation and shrinking cityShrinking cities tendencies in a country with small number of residents in the context of globalization and urbanisationUrbanisation. The “donut effect” will be explored in the capital cityCities Riga and ten municipalities nearby. The main research question is to what extent can the classical understanding and perception of urbanisationUrbanisation be applied to small societies and countries, and what kind of effects does the urbanisationUrbanisation create in such dynamically developing countries. There are several interdependent problems, such as the new patterns of urban–rural relations, as well as cityCities discourse in a small country. The suburbanized ring municipalities included in the research are not only an extension of Riga’s economic geography, but also play an important role to ensure qualitative microclimate around the capital cityCities. Due to these reasons, it is significant to coordinate growth strategies of municipalities around Riga. However, coordination of growth strategies is still lesson to be learned.]
