The Post-Socialist Metropolis: From Mono to Poly-Centricity
Original language description
The socialist cities were characterized by strong compactness and monocentricity. City centers accommodated large share of administration and retail and hierarchically organized secondary centers dwarfed in their shadow. Suburbanization has not developedand suburban areas accounted for only small share of population and negligible share on jobs. This situation rapidly changed with the transformation towards market economy. Under capitalist condition, suburbanization developed rapidly. Importantly, nonresidential decentralization got strong impetus with foreign firms expanding on new markets. Shopping parks, warehousing, distribution and industries and even first signs of offices started to form new suburban nuclei. These new suburban areas act as jobcenters that are reshaping the internal organization of post-socialist metropolitan areas. These job centers are new commuting to work destinations.
