The main features of suburbanization in the Great Hungarian Plain
Abstract Suburbanization, which took place through different mechanisms, and occured earlier in western European countries, is a relatively new phenomenon in Hungary. The Great Plain was only affected by industrial decentralization in the 1960s. The housing shortage is a serious problem in Hungary, thus the cheaper sites for sale in the suburds are especially attractive. Moreover, demands for space in the Great Plain compared with other regions of the country are greater here for people used to living in the large agrarian towns. The fact that they can do household and supplementary farming around their homes is an important incentive. This only means self-provision for many of them, but others carry out market gardening. Agriculture is the only survival strategy for numbers of people in the Great Plain, given the present dismal state of the Hungarian economy. Therefore, suburbs here are of unmistakably rural character and their population is not homogenous. Infrastructural investment has not kept up with the increase in population. Very often it is the commuting villages which have turned into suburbs, and with spatial relationships becoming more intense, they generally lose their administrative independence.
