Suburbanization in the Tallinn Metropolitan Area
This chapter analyzes the process of urban decentralization in the Tallinn Metropolitan Area (TMA) in the capital Estonia. It argues that the suburbanization debate should focus on the complexity of the processes taking place in the context of economic and societal restructuring of former centrally planned societies, and should recognize the strong impact of the socialist period of urban development on the evolution of Tallinn's metropolitan spatial structure today. The chapter describes the socioeconomic changes in Estonia since the collapse of the Soviet regime that have formed the preconditions for the new residential and employment location strategies, entrenched during the last two decades. It also provides an overview of the main patterns of residential and nonresidential decentralization in the TMA. The chapter concludes with a discussion on the impacts of suburbanization processes and the range of planning strategies employed by public authorities for the management of suburban growth.
