Since the Klaassen model of urban development had been published, inner-city resurgence has started to be expected, due to the reurbanisation stage commence. After decades of city dwellers movement from cores to rings, the reverse process was anticipated to come into being. The paper starts with a presentation of the reurbanisation term origin and evolution. Furthermore, the hitherto empirical attempts of reurbanisation presence verification made on European examples are widely captured. Most of all, the paper synthesizes the conclusions of scientific activities focused on the field of reurbanisation and underlines the challenges for conducting future research attempts.
