Exploring the Phenomenon of Urban Management: a Case Study of the Faculty of Economics in Osijek

The process of urbanization is one of the strongest factors affecting urban growth. There are two types of urbanization: economic and demographic one.

This parallelism proves that without economy and population there can be no growth of cities. The described situation constantly requires new and quality management of urban environment and urban infrastructure, as well as urban managers and experts capable of creating complex policies and actions that preserve the health and well-being of urban population, and help in creating attractive and sustainable cities.
