The process of suburbanization in the agglomeration of Budapest

Suburbanization and migration in Polish metropolitan areas during political transition

“…Suburbanization is rapidly taking place in large urban centers such as Prague and Brno in the Czech Republic (Sýkora 1999;Ouŕedníček 2007), Tallinn, Estonia (Tammaru 2005;Borén and Gentile 2007;Leetmaa and Tammaru 2007), and Budapest, Hungary (Kok and Kovács 1999;Brown et al 2005;Nagy 2005). Cities in the former East Germany show signs of population shifts to the suburban zone, which is one of the reasons for the depopulation of central cities (Lötscher 2005;Kujath 2005).…”

Specific Issues of Urban Sprawl in Bulgaria

“…in conditions of transition from socialism to a market society -the prevalent characteristics found most frequently by the researchers were very much the same (Sýkora, 1999;Kok and Kovács, 1999). Therefore, the most common findings of the authors are that these trends in post-communist states are similar to those in developed capitalists states, but are realised with some delay due to the specifics of their socio-economic development -primarily, delay due to the socialist period.…”

“…(Kok and Kovács, 1999;Timar and Varadi, 2001;Tammaru et al, 2004;Sýkora and Novák, 2007 etc.). More or less similar urban processes had been identified in South-eastern Europe, too (Nedovic-Budic and Tsenkova, 2006;Hirt, 2007a).…”

Po sledeh postsocialističnega prestrukturiranja mest: spreminjajoča se središča v srednje- in vzhodnoevropskih prestolnicah

“…Mesta so še naprej širila svoja predmestja ter s tem še dodatno prispevala k suburbanizaciji in razvoju mestnega obrobja kot posebnega vidika rasti mest (Koželj, 2007). Na suburbanizacijo so vplivali politični in gospodarski dejavniki (Kok in Kovacs, 1999), obrobja mest v tranziciji pa so začela rasti kmalu po letu 1990, ko so se tudi ljudje v večjem številu začeli preseljevati na obrobje. Uvedba tržnega gospodarstva, vse večji interesi nepremičninskih investitorjev in načrtovalske pobude občin, ki so mejile na glavna mesta, so povzročili nastanek sosesk z enodružinskimi hišami, ki so bile za številne najbolj zaže-lena stanovanjska izbira (Leetmaa in Tammaru, 2007).…”
