Spatial Conflicts and Divisions in Post-socialist Cities

“The intended audience of this book includes several categories: academics … politicians and local managers, and those from general public interested in or affected by significant spatial conflicts and divisions. … the merit of the book is to offer an overview about this part of the European continent, which suffered for decades because of totalitarian regimes, and of which some countries/ regions are still captive in a long urban transition and more.” (Gabriel Camară, Eurasian Geography and Economics, May 13, 2022)
