Abstract

The post-socialist city has been extensively researched by urban scholars from a political and socioeconomic perspective. However, this research has failed to deliver a thorough understanding of its spatial identity. In this study I aim to delve into this question by providing insights into the spatial characteristics of the post-socialist city in Central and Eastern Europe. The findings reveal that post-socialist cities have experienced considerable urban expansion, with dual residential and industrial/commercial specialisation as well as a multiplication of brownfields. By contrast, there remains a scarcity of green areas, amid an intense sprawling and artificialised urban environment.
