“…Such developments, however, mainly refer to suburban areas that existed in the Victorian era and to inter-war suburbanisation. These suburbs, formed of semi-detached houses, were established in the immediate vicinity of the cities, forming their outer ring (Frey et al, 2006;Mace, 2009) and, in the course of the territorial development of the city, have become their most inherent parts (Whitehand and Carr, 2001). The dynamic territorial expansion of cities in the 19 th and 20 th century, by incorporation of the surrounding areas (formal extension of city boundaries), which was typical for CEE cities, contributed to the formation of 'suburbs within the city' (Jindrich, 2012; 2019; Szmytkie and Krzysztofik, 2019).…”

The scale and the specificity of intra-urban suburbanisation is subject to evaluation in this article, based on a case study of Wrocław city (SW Poland), using data on population changes at an intra-urban scale and on the level of construction activity in the city. Intra-urban suburbanisation is characterised by intensive construction activity and population growth in the peripheral districts of the city, while depopulation takes place in the central part of the city and in large panel block estates from the socialist period. The main factors for the development of intra-urban suburbanisation are a reaction to the unfavourable (from the perspective of the city) suburbanisation processes (outflow of residents and tax revenue, road traffic congestion and the necessity to service populations residing de facto outside the city). The existence of extensive non-urbanised areas within the larger cities of Central and Eastern Europe (identified as potential areas for investment) results from the specific nature of their territorial development in the 20th century, including incorporation processes connected with planned urbanisation.

Spatial planning and policy continues to be used as a tool to bring about changes in travel behavior. Policy suggests that by creating particular urban forms, demand for travel by car can be reduced. This paper uses data collected in 2006 from 280 households in Glasgow and Edinburgh to analyze the relationships between urban form and vehicle miles driven, with an emphasis on those who had recently relocated. Population densities, housing type, distance to urban center, and measures of mix were collected for the current residential location and prior residence for those who had relocated in the previous three years. An ordinal regression model of change in urban form showed significant associations with reported change in miles driven, although the effect was small compared with the effects of socioeconomic factors and car ownership. While the results give some weight to intensification as a policy to bring about a reduction in average distance driven, there may be an increase in total distance driven in the intensified area with a corresponding increase in congestion. Whether such intensification can be enacted against a backdrop of preferences toward suburban, car-oriented living is contentious. As such, this study calls into question the use of planning policy as a means to reduce car use in Scottish cities.

“…These demographic shifts include unprecedented 'black flight' from cities, dramatic increases in Hispanic suburban population share, and the emergence of new suburban immigrant gateways and 'ethnoburbs.' 8 In 2014, sixty-one percent of immigrants lived in suburbs (up from just over fifty percent in 2000), with increasing numbers of new Americans shunning traditional "gateway" cities and settling directly in suburbs, especially in inner ring communities. 9 Many inner ring suburbs also are facing new economic strains, with relative poverty more prevalent than it was a generation ago.…”
