The reurbanisation concept and its utility for contemporary research on post-socialist cities: The case of the Czech Republic

Ouředníček, Martin, Šimon, Martin, Kopečná, Martina. 2015. „The reurbanisation concept and its utility for contemporary research on post-socialist cities: The case of the Czech Republic.“ Moravian Geographical Reports 23 (4): 26–35. ISSN 1210-8812.

The concept of reurbanisation is discussed in this article from theoretical and methodological perspectives. Reurbanisation has been defined as one of the stages of urban development recently, but it is also tied to processes of gentrification, or perceived as a policy aimed at the revitalisation of inner cities. The main objective of this contribution is to discuss three principal and different perspectives of reurbanisation: firstly, reurbanisation as defined on the macro-scale of settlement system development; secondly, the concept as elaborated at the micro-scale of the transformation of inner cities; and, thirdly, reurbanisation viewed as a specific urban policy at the local government scale of analysis. The authors’ singular understanding of the reurbanisation process – as suburban-to-urban migration – is then presented as an alternative conceptualization of reurbanisation. This paper presents and evaluates the use of the reurbanisation concept in research on residential environments in current conditions in the Czech Republic and relates it to the broader domain of research on post-socialist cities.
