Reihe: Studies in Urban and Social Change

Cities After Socialism is the first substantial andauthoritative analysis of the role of cities in the transition tocapitalism that is occurring in the former communist states ofEaster Europe and the Soviet Union. It will be of equal value tourban specialists and to those who have a more general interest inthe most dramatic socio-political event of the contemporary era -the collapse of state socialism. Written by an international groupof leading experts in the field, Cities after socialism asks andanswers some crucial questions about the nature of the emergentpost-socialist urban system and the conflicts and inequalitieswhich are being generated by the processes of change now occurring.
