Summary/Abstract: The author develops in his paper a typological analysis of the main developmental participants of middle Croatian towns. The group of middle Croatian towns has been defined according to R. Zimmermann's proposal. It includes 54 towns; among them the biggest is Zadar, and the smallest Ludbreg. The purpose of this analysis is to investigate to what extent the main developmental participants in middle Croatian towns are capable of performing a more active role in Croatian urbanization. This role implies that middle Croatian towns accept the new developmental obligations now exclusively situated in big towns. The role has been defined in the Regional Planning Strategy of the Republic of Croatia as its special objective. In the analysis the author selects several main participants: the national public, the communal public, the economic participants originating from the primary, secondary, tertiary and quartary sectors, government institutions, professional, managing and social elites and the citizens.
