Zukunftsperspektiven mittel- und osteuropäischer Großwohnsiedlungen zwischen Wohnungsmarkt, Bewohnerinitiative und Förderpolitik

Abstract

The differentiation of housing supply and demand in Central-Eastern European urban regions since 1990 adumbrates the reassessment of socialist large scale housing estates as housing location. The importance of this market segment in terms of housing supply as well as its need for refurbishment stresses on the significance of large-scale housing estates in urban development. Against this background the authors analyse the current social and edificial situations in four selected large-scale housing estates in Central-Eastern Europe. Potential perspectives for its developments are discussed as opportunities and needs for action, resulting from the interplay of regional housing market structures, public policy of subsidies and dwellers’ behaviour between mobility and do-it-yourself initiatives.
