Abstract European inner city areas are increasingly regaining their residential attractiveness after years of decline. Although the demographic dimensions such shifts gradually being acknowledged by urban scholars, they still remain under‐researched, especially with regard to role household‐driven processes in stabilisation inner‐city neighbourhoods and reshaping perceptions, wants needs. Given this background, our paper looks at underlying dynamics reurbanisation different cities....
.Contemporary cities in East Central Europe (ECE) represent a hybrid type of urban development which is still generally considered to be special case and only exceptionally referred the recently intensified debate over European city. Our paper argues that such exclusion short‐sighted because ECE face structural problems similar those their Western pendants. Therefore, contextual frame research needs widened can no longer restricted post‐socialist transition. In this regard, one main...
The flooding of parts New York in the aftermath Hurricane Sandy October 2012 provided dramatic images a global city and world financial centre struggling to cope with natural disaster.At times, many neighbourhoods, particularly Manhattan, seemed struggle function.This moved beyond those directly affected by their homes businesses, wider as critical infrastructure was damaged, including electricity sub-stations leading hospital evacuations following power-cuts, closure public transport...
This paper introduces and discusses regional opportunity structures as a concept for analysing the interlinkages between structural conditions in space, social inequalities, people’s agency, with focus on non-metropolitan areas. The adds value following ways: (1) it emphasises scale an important spatial context of access to opportunities; (2) accounts complexity context, which provides plethora (3) recognises interdependencies effects other drivers inequality; (4) takes level seriously...
In this article, we contribute to a better understanding of contextual differences related residential segregation. We illuminate one specific factor—housing oversupply—and how it intersects with historically inherited patterns socio-spatial differentiation and other drivers The study is based on an analysis segregation has developed over the last 20 years in city Leipzig, Germany. This case offers rare possibility studying impact city-wide housing oversupply segregation, rather than...

After many decades of inner-city decline and massive suburbanization during the post-socialist transition 1990s, in eastern Germany there has been recently evolving a new, specific phenomenon: simultaneousness shrinkage, fading rising reurbanization. In this paper, focus is on processes Starting from critical debate conceptual approaches, paper aims to scrutinize whether reurbanization can serve as an appropriate explanatory framework for currently changing patterns spatial development...

 Since the mid-20th century, state interventions and investments have helped rural areas undergo a strong process of modernization (“urbanization”). Due to this de- velopment, provision public services is still widely considered be top-down today. Yet per- ception was never entirely true (when considering, for ex- ample, voluntary fire brigades). Moreover, in course loss-making highly indebted municipal budgets socio-demographic changes, division work be- tween different actors—whether...

In many regions with long-term structural economic and demographic problems, small towns are shrinking as their urban centres, they losing population, jobs, vibrancy infrastructure. Yet, knowledge about trajectories remains vague studies on shrinkage have so far focused large cities. When monitoring population change of in Germany, there ambiguous findings concerning recent development: On the one hand, natural migration balances were mostly negative is ageing. other, become target locations...

In recent years, rural residents' participation within their local communities has attracted attention scientific and political debates that focus on sustaining or improving the quality of life in villages. Retired older people feature centrally these discussions, as they are perceived to have time experience participate various activities.
