Addressing the Legacy of Post‐Socialist Cities in East Central Europe
This chapter addresses the specificity of the development of the creative and knowledge‐intensive industries in the post‐socialist cities of East Central Europe (ECE) and consequences for policy development. Because of the distinctive pathways of these city‐regions, it would be unwise and in fact impossible to copy Western European policies. This chapter shows, however, that there is scope for differentiated policies. It is argued that, in the post‐socialist cities of East Central Europe, urban policies should be even more ‘tailored’ than those in Western Europe because of bigger differences in both socio‐economic performance and institutional settings. City‐regions should identify their strengths and weaknesses, and they should take advantage of their strongest assets and not to rely upon weaker ones.
