This chapter provides a comprehensive overview of recent processes of urban deconcentration in the Budapest region, along with an examination of the socioeconomic and political conditions that have enabled this phenomenon. It offers an exploration of the historical background of suburbanization in Budapest, followed by an analysis of the contemporary dynamics of urban deconcentration in the region. The chapter also discusses the conditions of suburbanization, its driving forces, and its most important impacts. The intensity of suburbanization significantly increased after 1990 due to the liberalization of the property market, the decentralization of the planning system, the infusion of global capital investments, and the change in the preferences of residents and companies in favor of suburban locations. Finally, the chapter concludes with an assessment of current policies and practices of managing suburban growth around Budapest.
