Abstract

The article examines the main problems of the development of urbanization in the Bulgarian lands in the 19th century - of a political and administrative, economic, sanitary-hygienic, epidemic and urban planning nature. The efforts of the Ottoman authorities and the local population to deal with the problems, which hinder the normal functioning of socio-economic life in the Balkan provinces of the Ottoman Empire, are analyzed. As a result of these efforts, the living conditions in the cities in the Bulgarian lands have improved, their economic and demographic development has been stimulated and the process of urbanization in the region has been activated on the eve of the Liberation of Bulgaria.
