Managing Suburbanization in Postsocialist Europe

Abstract

This chapter discusses the impact of public policies and planning at national, regional, and local levels of governance on the spread of postsocialist suburbanization. Using the evidence presented in the case studies, it highlights similarities and differences in the ways in which the patterns of urban growth have been influenced by the policy choices made by the postsocialist government bodies, and the governments’ universal acceptance of suburbanization as an integral and inevitable process of urban growth under the conditions of capitalism. The chapter concludes by casting a glance at the likely future scenarios for metropolitan growth in the region and linking the possible trajectories of suburbanization to the ways in which societies in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) will address key issues that arise from challenges that are specific to the region and from global challenges facing the planet at the dawn of the new millennium.
