Summary/Abstract: For our study the special field of observation of health inequalities has been chosen, i.e. the cities. Domestic and international sources show the favourable situation of cities and urban territories in the area of health, however the territorial inequality analyses show strong regional dif-ferences in the cities as well. In our study the domestic urban network is examined, furthermore the general, territorial and spatial differences of health condition are presented. Finally, with the help of using multivariate spatial regressions, the effect of the aggregated health condition has been tested in relation to the urban economic development. As a conclusion, our urban health inequality analyses resulted in interpretable and reliable relations in context, supplying additional information to the examinations of the individual and higher aggregated territorial levels, which have similar themes.
