The Challenge of Postsocialist Suburbanization
This chapter lays out theoretical argument, linking suburbanization to key structural forces and factors that underlies the transition of the former socialist countries of Central and Eastern Europe to a capitalist socioeconomic order. It highlights the decisive influence of neoliberal ideology in this process of societal transformation and the impact of globalization and socialist legacies on the patterns of metropolitan growth. While stressing the distinct characteristics of postsocialist suburbanization that emerged in the period of transition, the author situates the experience of the CEE countries in the broader context of global urban change. Finally the chapter underscores the key challenges facing postsocialist metropolitan areas that are related to the explosive growth of uncontrolled suburbanization, which has dominated metropolitan growth since the collapse of the communist regimes.
