CITIES IN POST-SOCIALIST SPACE: APPROACHES TO CONCEPTUALIZATION AND PLACING IN URBAN DISCOURSE
Journal Title: Український географічний журнал - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue
Abstract
Over the past 30 years, socio-spatial transformations have been continuing in Central and Eastern Europe due to institutional and socio-economic changes. Significant transformations take place in cities. Transformations in the region are characterized by the emergence of “multiple trends” and heterogeneous dynamics, due to a specific combination of geographical and socio-cultural diversity, pace and directions of institutional changes, and other factors. All this together led to the emergence of several models of post-socialist transformations that have distinct differences. Despite the fact that transformations in Ukrainian cities continue for a long period, they cannot be considered as completed. This article attempts to generalize the main statements of the post-socialist cities concept, their critical assessment, aimed at identifying further directions of development, comprehension of approaches to studying of cities in the region, their placing in a broader urban discourse.
