“…Although social and economic transitions had different rhythms, for CEE cities urban evolution followed quite the same cyclic phenomena related with the Western European cities (Antrop 2004;Stanilov 2007). Since 1990, every CEE Capital cityincluding Moscow (Russian Federation) -followed almost the same way of reformation through urban policy (Rudolph and Brade 2005). The difference is the effect in landscape change and its temporal resolution.…”

In this study, Bucharest, the capital city of Romania was selected as a case study. Based on time series of Landsat TM imagery and statistical data, an analysis on urban growth from 1984 to 2010 was performed, using an integrated approach of remote sensing and GIS techniques. The land cover data were validated by CORINE Land Cover maps. The results revealed that rapid urban growth of the Bucharest region led to accelerated land use conversion from cropland to built-up land. The processes of deindustrialization in the core city and industrialization to the ring road represent other driving factors for spatiotemporal pattern of built-up land. The paper will discuss these processes and their impact on economic growth and residential suburbanization of the studied region.

“…Notable in this regard is a strengthening of processes of social polarisation that have become visible at the periphery. Perhaps as a corollary to this, as they argue, is that the economics of transition have become less powerful as a defining force in peripheral urbanisation and that "Rather, universal economic mechanisms and strategies with global effects are starting to shape the Moscow periphery" [Rudolph and Brade, 2005:148]. What we have described above tends to question the diminishing importance of transition.…”

“…The ambiguous position of suburban and satellite settlements remains and has often been amplified in the post-Soviet era. Rudolph and Brade (2005), while making it clear that contemporary urbanisation at the periphery of Moscow can be described as a new phase, suggest that development at the periphery displays hybrid elements [Rudolph and Brade, 2005: 148]. Notable in this regard is a strengthening of processes of social polarisation that have become visible at the periphery.…”

To what extent do the ideas of "edge city", "post-suburbia" and associated models of urban growth apply in the transition economy case? The paper considers urban development and place-making on the periphery of Moscow, based on the case of Khimki, a former offlimits "satellite city" and more recently a fast-growing area. The forces and ideologies driving the growth on the edge of Moscow and the relationship between different actors are considered. The paper argues that while the Russian case shares some commonalities with the Western models of "edge city" and "growth machine", growth in Khimki is fuelled by opportunistic profit-making initiatives that are disconnected from "local" city. It is yet to be seen whether a growing demand for new infrastructure, as well as emerging residents' movements will restructure the modes of governing urban growth more in line with proactive place-focused post-suburban politics.

“…Social memory may well be a result of intentional memory politics: architects and city planners not infrequently set out to accentuate a particular construction of a city's history, by emphasizing certain historical elements and destroying others [29]. Changes in the urban space, especially the capitals, allows tracing ideas and revising values [6,12,13,16,21,23,25,27].…”

“…Moscow was not only the place where political, administrative and economic power was located; it was also a model of civilization for the whole country. [23] During the 20th century, Moscow changed from being a one million-person city in Russia to the largest European urban agglomeration. The growth and urbanization processes were particularly strong during the Soviet period.…”
