Abstract

Nowadays the key engines of the development processes are the information and communication technologies, which may become the, biggest industrial sectors in the forthcoming decades. This process however effects the society enormously in Hungary as well, where we are in the transition period towards the information society. There is a sharp competition among the cities with county rank constituting the backbone of the Hungarian city network to gain new investors, new managerial and administrative functions. The information society means a new competition situation for Hungary and so for the city network. As a consequence of it, it is very important to examine the situation of Győr in comparison with the other cities with county rank, to get a more accurate picture of its position in the information society.
