Suburbanisation and Its Social Consequences

Abstract

The article argues that suburbanisation is going to become an important part of research and the social agenda.First, suburbanisation is the most important process of urban change in the metropolitan regions of post-communist cities.Second, some forms of suburbanisation, specifically, sprawl-like developments, introduce certain negative economic, social, and environmental consequences.Therefore, it is necessary to investigate this process from the start, anticipate its long-term impacts, and attempt to influence it in the direction of attaining more sustainable metropolitan development.The paper defines suburbanisation and outlines its main conditions and consequences as evident from the examples of North America and Western Europe.Finally, it suggests some issues that should come to form a part of the research agenda on suburbanisation.
