Over the course of several previous decades the post-socialist countries of Central and Eastern Europe have experienced notable population disposition and composition changes in the vicinity of large cities. Despite this, age composition related studies have rarely paid attention to changes within these city regions. Thus, the aim of this paper is to shed light on age composition changes of Riga agglomeration ring. For this study official statistical data, along with population ageing index is utilized. Changes are studied for the entire ring and its structures of urban and rural areas for the years 2000, 2011 and 2020. Results indicated that, despite a decrease, the 25-44 year old age group remained the most populous. 15-24 year old group had the largest decrease. Pre-working age and the two oldest groups were the ones which had tended to increase the most in comparison to situation in 2000. However, ring and urban areas first saw a decrease of pre-working age population leading up to 2011, followed by a more notable growth. Population ageing index values showed that for all territory types population ageing had slowed after 2011. Also, urban areas of Riga agglomeration have been ageing more rapidly than rural ones. This study was supported by National Research Program Project grant number VPP-IZM-2018/1-0015.

“…Research based on statistical data has shed light mainly on countrywide characteristics (Walford & Kurek, 2008;Kerbler, 2015) and changes which have taken place in urban areas (e.g. Haase et al, 2010;Kurek & Wojtowicz, 2018). Consequently, characteristics of age composition in agglomerations remains an under researched topic.…”

“…Tourismification of the housing has an impact on the change in the character of a neighbourhood and living conditions of residents too, and also on the local housing market. It is reciprocally driven by processes of depopulation, which have been continuing in the city centre of Krakow since the 1950s (Zborowski 2005;Kurek and Wójtowicz 2018). This relation has evolved into a vicious circle form (Fig.…”

Previously a domain of tourism studies, ‘tourismification’ (or ‘touristification’) has now becomepresent in urban studies. Although diverse empirical descriptions of the phenomenon and processes oftourismification are still dominant, the article presents the stages of the development of the studies in thisarea. The contemporary debate focuses on the consequences and externalities of the development of tourism in cities (new both in terms of the forms and the range). Special attention is given to tourismification of housing resources, which – as demonstrated on the example of Krakow’s city centre district – transforms them both visibly and invisibly. The spatial range of these changes is growing not only horizontally, but also vertically. These changes occur in accordance with various sequences and mechanisms. In spite of the context dependence of tourismification and different susceptibility of urban environments to it, for many, especially historic, cities it has become ‘the sign of the times’ in the second decade of the 21st century. At the same time, tourismification can be seen as a cause, tool or consequence of various interrelated processes observed in contemporary cities.

“…Multiple transformations (Rink et al, 2019; Sýkora & Bouzarovski, 2012; Steinführer et al, 2011) can be utilized to understand the post‐socialist urban changes, particularly the temporal and spatial dynamics of demographic change and their implications for policy, planning, and regional development. Numerous studies have found that demographic transition, ageing, fertility behavior, and diverse household structures have a significant impact on urban shrinkage, regional labor, and the real estate market (Botev, 2012; Buzar et al, 2005; Couch et al, 2012; Káčerová et al, 2014; Kashnitsky et al, 2021; Kazimierczak & Szafrańska, 2019; Kurek et al, 2017; Kurek & Wójtowicz, 2018; Steinführer & Haase, 2007; Wolff & Wiechmann, 2018).…”

The twin phenomena of ageing populations and declining populations are profoundly transforming societies and economies in Europe. Driven by decreasing fertility rates and the continuing increased life expectancy, populations have not been ageing uniformly across time and space. In an increasingly urbanized world, the spatial distribution of the young and the elderly is a matter of growing scholarly and policy interest. In Europe, this process is more pronounced in peripheral areas than in the core regions, while the development of metropolitan areas is associated with suburbanization predominantly driven by young in‐migrants. Latvia is an interesting case study for studying population ageing and its spatial imbalances due to the key role of emigration in population decline and ageing. By employing descriptive and spatial analysis, this study uses data from the Latvian census and population register to explore the relationships between population change and ageing processes. Global Moran's I and the local indicators of spatial association were used to identify spatial systems. The study confirmed global and local spatial autocorrelation for the both examined age variables. Using the Getis‐Ord Gi* method identified spatial clusters of the young and the elderly. We found more pronounced residential clustering of the elderly aged 75 and over in the depopulating region of Latgale, whereas the Riga metropolitan region and areas around the largest towns tend to cluster young residents.
