Beschreibung
This fascinating book explains the processes of suburbanization in the context of post-socialist societies transitioning from one system of socio-spatial order to another. Case studies of seven Central and Eastern Europe city regions illuminate growth patterns and key conditions for the emergence of sprawl. * Breaks new ground, offering a systematic approach to the analysis of the global phenomenon of suburbanization in a post-socialist context * Tracks the boom of the post-socialist suburbs in seven CEE capital city regions - Budapest, Ljubljana, Moscow, Prague, Sofia, Tallinn, and Warsaw * Situates the experience of the CEE countries in the broader context of global urban change * Case studies examine the phenomenon of suburbanization along four main vectors of analysis related to development patterns, driving forces, consequences and impacts, and management of suburbanization * Highlights the critical importance of public policies and planning on the spread of suburbanization
Rezensionen
'This book provides a wealth of novel insights into a process that has received very little systematic attention in among researchers and policy-makers alike: the vast process of urban dispersal unfolding throughout European countries situated east of the former Iron Curtain. Moving seamlessly across a wide range of geographical contexts - from the urbanization of the countryside seen around Ljubljana to Moscow's regional suburbanization model - the authors demonstrate an acute ability to detect the local nuances and generic trends that characterize such dynamics. This edited collection can thus serve as both a foundational text for scholars as well as a guidance document for practitioners and decision-makers.'

'Confronting Suburbanization sheds a bright light on the processes of contemporary metropolitan growth in a fascinating region with a long and rich urban history, and communist legacies which formed a springboard for unprecedented post-socialist dynamics. In this volume, a set of renowned international authors with close local knowledge try to untangle the complexities resulting from both external and internal forces - political reform, economic liberalization, social and demographic context - as they manifest themselves in terms of metropolitan development. The authors offer numerous insights, and clearly note that there is much both East and West can learn from this dynamic environment where intensified societal and physical transformation is happening before our eyes.'
