“…Another relevant factor was that even though East Germany had completely adopted the West German planning system during reunification in theory, planning regulations were not yet fully established in the early 1990s in practice. Effective regulations in the face of new developments often did not exist, especially not at the regional planning level (Aring and Herfert, 2001; Häußermann, 1996; Nuissl and Rink, 2005). 9 Planners in East Germany had to become familiar with the new system, institutions and plans had to be established, and municipalities had to deal with decentralised power and inter-municipal competition.…”

Rampant suburbanisation is one of the most visible changes evidenced in cities throughout Central and Eastern Europe in the past three decades. In this paper, we analyse how suburbanisation unfolded in East Germany after reunification. We do this against the background of ongoing debates about the usefulness and meaning of the term post-socialism that have questioned the self-enclosed spatiality of the concept and suggest giving the concept of neoliberalisation a more central role in analysing the changes experienced in this part of the world. We show that the suburbanisation process in East Germany rested on three neoliberal policy orientations: (1) extensive investment stimuli for the construction of new rental housing, (2) promotion of home ownership and (3) the privileging of suburban locations through planning gaps. Since all these policies are based on neoliberal ideas, we argue that neoliberalisation and post-socialist reform agendas have appeared as two sides of the same coin. Against this background, we advocate putting the developments that came after socialism at the centre of the research and call for a new generation of studies on post-socialist neoliberalisation.

“…Since segregation in Czech cities is mainly at the level of houses or building clusters, micro-level analysis not only helps to detect seeds of poverty in neighbourhoods, but also shows how the risk processes operate in particular housing estates within a particular local context. post-socialist cities (Musil, 1993;Andrusz et al, 1996;Häußermann, 1996;Węcławowicz, 1996;Enyedi, 1998;Eckardt, 2006). Hand-inhand with socio-spatial change has come a great interest on the part of social sciences in the description and evaluation of new social and economic processes in urban settings (Musil and Illner, 1994;Kostinskiy, 2001;Musil, 2002;Tsenkova and Nedovic´-Budic´, 2006).…”

“…In the 1990s, many voices in the academic and public spheres warned against the social and physical degradation of housing estates in post-socialist cities (Szelényi, 1996;Enyedi, 1998). Although there are many problems facing large prefabricated housing estates today, it is not generally a case of the depopulation, abandonment and social degradation that can be found in, for example, many east German cities (Häußermann, 1996;Harth et al, 1998;Mäding, 2003;Glock and Häußermann, 2004). Housing estates in different countries and regions and in various locations in cities have experienced different development trajectories during the postsocialist transition and in some of them the risk of social and physical degradation has become more real.…”

The main purpose of this paper is to identify ongoing changes in post-socialist large housing estates and to clarify their main factors, using a case study approach. The paper examines the transformations of nine housing estates in the third largest Polish city -Łódź. The transformations were analysed in two dimensions: social (socio-demographic changes) and physical (changes in the spatial and functional structure and changes in the physiognomy). The key question was whether the changes occurring in large housing estates in Łódź protect them before the development of the social and physical degradation, identified in many estates in Western Europe, referred as the "large housing estate syndrome". Research has shown that in examined housing estates there are no symptoms of physical or social degradation. Moreover, processes found there contribute to the prevention of the negative phenomena leading to the development of the "large housing estate syndrome".
