Postsocialist Suburbanization Patterns and Dynamics
A Comparative Perspective
This chapter summarizes the main features of postsocialist suburbanization on the basis of the evidence presented in our seven cases studies. It highlights the commonalities of the phenomenon as they relate to its historical evolution, growth dynamics and trends, and spatial patterns. The chapter discusses further the presence of intraregional variations and reviews a set of key factors that account for differences in the patterns and processes of suburbanization across Central and East European (CEE) metropolitan areas. Metropolitan areas began to emerge in CEE toward the beginning of the twentieth century, marking a period of accelerated industrialization and the growth of capital cities as the administrative and economic hubs of the newly established nation states in the region. The profound social, economic, and political transformation of CEE societies following the collapse of the communist regime initiated a process of sweeping sociospatial adjustments in the fabric and shape of postsocialist cities.
