“…There were some exceptions; for example, in Slovenia suburbanization was most pronounced in the 1970s and 1980s. This was an effect of polycentric development processes, which were supported by the political elites in 1960s and set the path for accelerated suburbanization in Slovenia at that time (Uršič 2004;Uršič 2012;Pichler-Milanović 2014). In other Eastern Bloc countries, communist governments began to control internal migration via limits on the number of residential registration permits issued for cities as well as by constructing large new housing complexes on the outskirts of cities (Enyedi 1998).…”

This article presents the development of suburbanization processes that occurred in Polish metropolitan areas during the political transition from communism. We analyze data on population and migration for municipalities in seven metropolitan areas from 1995 to 2012. Our results show that the suburban development phase was strongly associated with cities’ size and level of economic development. The article concludes that the outflow of the urban population to the suburbs started earliest in centers that had successfully undergone the transition period.

“…The result maps illustrate the gradual expansion of the built-up area in the surroundings of Bucharest, which allows an overview of the structural changes that have occurred after the turn of the millennium. Previous research noted that, generally in CEE countries, the uncontrolled expansion of built-up areas was embraced as a positive measure, regardless of the long lasting detrimental effects [5,109]. Thus, such quantitative approaches based on Landsat datasets enable the understanding of the urban development pathway, the resulting spatial outcome and related challenges, which can then be used to improve policy making that might sustain better planning.…”

“…The large amount of greenfield land and its lower costs, as compared with the capital, are considered the main attractive factors for establishing new developments [111]. Moreover, the preferences for the open space adjacent to large cities is common in CEE countries [5,53,63], fostered by the interest of local authorities to increase their budget revenues [68].…”

“…The increasing demand for land reclaimed for the incessant process of built-up area expansion represents a major concern around the world [1,2], as it leads to irreversible changes to, and negative impacts on, the environment. In this regard, urban expansion is considered a threat to sustainable development goals [3,4], as previous research reported detrimental consequences related to soil sealing [5], air and water pollution [6,7], biodiversity loss [8,9], land use conflicts [10][11][12][13].…”

Evaluating the Territorial Impact of Built-Up Area Expansion in the Surroundings of Bucharest (Romania) through a Multilevel Approach Based on Landsat Satellite Imagery

Assessing the relentless expansion of built-up areas is one of the most important tasks for achieving sustainable planning and supporting decision-making on the regional and local level. In this context, techniques based on remote sensing can play a crucial role in monitoring the fast rhythm of urban growth, allowing the regular appraisal of territorial dynamics. The main aim of the study is to evaluate, in a multi-scalar perspective, the built-up area expansion and the spatio–temporal changes in Ilfov County, which overlaps the surroundings of Bucharest, capital of Romania. Our research focuses on processing multi-date Landsat satellite imagery from three selected time references (2000, 2008, 2018) through the supervised classification process. Further on, the types of built-up area dynamics are explored using LDTtool, a landscape metrics instrument. The results reveal massive territorial restructuring in the 18 years, as the new built-up developments occupy a larger area than the settlements’ surface in 2000. The rhythm of the transformations also changed over time, denoting a significant acceleration after 2008, when 75% of the new development occurred. At the regional level, the spatial pattern has become more and more complex, in a patchwork of spatial arrangements characterized by the proliferation of low density areas interspersed with clusters of high density developments and undeveloped land. At the local level, a comparative assessment of the administrative territorial units’ pathway was conducted based on the annual growth of built-up areas, highlighting the most attractive places and the main territorial directions of development. In terms of the specific dynamics of built-up areas, the main change patterns are “F—NP increment by gain”, followed by “G—Aggregation by gain”, both comprising around 80% of the total number of cells. The first type was prevalent in the first period (2000–2008), while the second is identified only after 2008, when it became the most represented, followed in the hierarchy by the previously dominant category. The spatial pattern differentiations were further explored in three complementary case studies investigated in correlation with socioeconomic data, revealing a heterogeneous landscape.

“…In the countries of Western Europe, functional and spatial transformations of the suburban area began many decades ago, but in the Central and Eastern part, these processes began much later and are related to the systemic transformation [1]. However, it seems that at present, trends are similar all over Europe, and suburban areas are subject to intensive spatial transformations [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10], strong economic pressure [11][12][13][14] and landscape [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23]. The areas near metropolitan centres, where migrations exert strong pressure, are the most transformed in Europe [24,25].…”

This article examines the growth of the labour market and entrepreneurship in a metropolitan area. In particular, the study attempts to answer how the economy of the rural regions is developing in the hinterland of a large urban complex in Southern Poland, which is transforming from a post-industrial conurbation into a metropolitan area. The study applied Florence’s local specialization index, statistical measures, dynamics indexes, and Pearson’s correlation index. The research results show that the local economy, including the labour market, is systematically growing. Rural communes refer to multifunctional development based on services, and they represent diverse economic specializations. They are subject to economies of scale and benefit from the proximity and impact of a large urban complex. The economic growth of rural areas in the hinterland is related to entrepreneurship, convenient location in relation to cities, and migration from cities to villages.
