Book description
Cities After Socialism
is the first substantial and authoritative analysis of the role of
cities in the transition to capitalism that is occurring in the former
communist states of Easter Europe and the Soviet Union. It will be of
equal value to urban specialists and to those who have a more general
interest in the most dramatic socio-political event of the contemporary
era - the collapse of state socialism. Written by an international group
of leading experts in the field, Cities after socialism asks and answers
some crucial questions about the nature of the emergent post-socialist
urban system and the conflicts and inequalities which are being
generated by the processes of change now occurring.
