Abstract
Twin cities represent a particular case of two cities or urban centres founded in a close geographic proximity, which gradually grow into each other, losing most of their mutual buffer zone. There are no precise criteria for the twin-cityhood, but to be considered as twin cities, they have to present a similar administrative status and somewhat comparable sizes. However, some of them, considered twinned by proximity, do not necessarily match demographically, economically, or politically.

| Additional Information: | The Danube is the most international and multicultural river on Earth, the main connection for cultures in Central Europe and the Balkans, but also a spatial system fragmented by borders in need to reconnect in its identity. The natural wonders of this river and the capital cities on its shores usually get all the attention, but it is the smaller towns, often neglected in peripheral situations, that still today hold the multicultural essence of the Danubian Region. With this Atlas compiled by the DANUrB partnership our intention is to present urban communities along the Danube River which share similar tangible and intangible heritage in their local identities. One of the main aims of the DANUrB INTERREG Project is the reactivation of underused cultural heritage and resources in shrinking settlements of Danube river’s peripheral and border regions in order to make them more attractive again. |
