“…Urbanization processes in the region have been influenced by the post-socialist transformation of urban spatial structure, with questions arising as to whether this transformation can be interpreted as an adaptation process to Western-style urbanization [72]. The process of urban growth in the Western Balkans has been reflected in the physical expansion into the surrounding area, leading to the conversion of land into the urban fabric, a phenomenon known as urban sprawl [73]. Peri-urban development, as a general rural trend, has been observed in both Eastern and Western Europe, with similar processes and phenomena being presently observed in both regions [74].…”
