In postsocialist cities, urban environments formed under socialist regimes are being adapted to new conditions shaped by the transition to capitalism. With the establishment of market rules and pluralistic democracy, social practices of individuals, firms, and governments became imprinted in urban landscapes.

Urban change has been especially influenced by internationalization, economic restructuring, social differentiation, postmodern culture, and neoliberal political practices. The main transformations in the spatial organization included the commercialization of city centers, the dynamic and spatially selective revitalization in inner cities, and the radical transformation of suburban hinterland affected by sprawl.
