“…However, as observed in both US and European cities, what then makes regrowth the prevalent trend at the city scale is usually a mix of international migrants, young adults, some parts of the middle to upper class, and in general adult-centered families with distinct housing preferences compared to couples with kids 27,73 . Even though, compared to the US, families still seem to play a (minor) role in the reurbanization of some European cities 73,74 , the positive correlation that we observed between natural population change and residential land take supports this interpretation.…”

Higher immigration and lower land take rates are driving a new densification wave in European cities

Spatio-temporal density trends are considered key indicators of urban development. However, similar density trends may hide different drivers. This study investigates the density trends of 331 European cities between 2006 and 2018 and the underlying trends in residential area and population, broken down into natural change and net migration. The analysis captured a shift in the predominant trend from de-densification (2006–2012) to densification (2012–2018). Two main drivers determined the shift: (i) a more diffused growth of urban population, and (ii) a slowdown of land take for residential use after the global financial crisis of 2008. A clear acceleration in net migration rates, with immigration pushing population growth, occurred in most cities turning from de-densification to densification. Despite path dependencies and enduring differences across regions and city sizes, the distribution of these trends partly redesigned the traditional European East-West dichotomy into a novel center-periphery division.

“…Such a trend probably reflects a change in the living preferences of people who moved to wealthier regions for work. Low-density suburban housing with greater demands on daily commuting do not meet their needs [40]. Economic reasons can also affect densification trends; land prices are under higher pressure in wealthier regions with population growth.…”

Despite the efforts of developed countries to protect undeveloped land, development continues to expand beyond urban boundaries. High-quality land needed for food production is often consumed. This study aims to verify possible causes of undeveloped land and high-quality land consumption within regions (NUTS3) using a new approach to building growth monitoring. It investigates residential (RBs) and commercial buildings (retail and industrial buildings, RIBs). The development between 2006 and 2016 in the Czech Republic, a country in Central Europe, is used as a case study. Population growth and gross domestic product per capita (GDP) within regions are considered two potential causes of land consumption; this hypothesis is verified using a linear regression model. Only GDP showed statistically significant results. It correlated negatively with RBs and RBs + RIBs built on undeveloped land and positively with RBs + RIBs and either RBs or RIBs built on high-quality land. Based on the results, we recommend that land protection policies be differentiated according to regional specifics to be more effective. Regions with lower GDPs should obtain more support in protecting undeveloped land against residential development. The protection of high-quality land should be emphasized by supporting residential and commercial development on brownfield sites in regions with higher GDPs.

“…Suburban growth has contributed to demographic inequalities between metropolitan and nonmetropolitan regions in Latvia, as in other CEE nations. Many of the region's core cities nowadays are characterized by reurbanization trends as well as ongoing parallel suburbanization processes in the city peripheries (Haase et al, 2010; Horňáková & Sýkora, 2021; Istrate et al, 2015; Krisjane & Berzins, 2012; Kurek et al, 2020; Ubarevičienė & Burneika, 2020).…”

The twin phenomena of ageing populations and declining populations are profoundly transforming societies and economies in Europe. Driven by decreasing fertility rates and the continuing increased life expectancy, populations have not been ageing uniformly across time and space. In an increasingly urbanized world, the spatial distribution of the young and the elderly is a matter of growing scholarly and policy interest. In Europe, this process is more pronounced in peripheral areas than in the core regions, while the development of metropolitan areas is associated with suburbanization predominantly driven by young in‐migrants. Latvia is an interesting case study for studying population ageing and its spatial imbalances due to the key role of emigration in population decline and ageing. By employing descriptive and spatial analysis, this study uses data from the Latvian census and population register to explore the relationships between population change and ageing processes. Global Moran's I and the local indicators of spatial association were used to identify spatial systems. The study confirmed global and local spatial autocorrelation for the both examined age variables. Using the Getis‐Ord Gi* method identified spatial clusters of the young and the elderly. We found more pronounced residential clustering of the elderly aged 75 and over in the depopulating region of Latgale, whereas the Riga metropolitan region and areas around the largest towns tend to cluster young residents.
