Abstract
The new generation of young adults, who has been since the second half of the 1990s growing in their parents' suburban homes in Prague's hinterland, is nowadays facing the choice of their future residential places. While they are attracted by the rich and dynamic city life and repelled by daily commuting to remote and boring suburbs, the rapid price growth on Prague's housing market and the corresponding issue of housing affordability severely constrain their suburb-to-city migration trajectories.
Employing the analysis of statistical data about the population growth, housing construction and migration, the paper uncovers the migration patterns of young suburban adults and discusses its implications for geodemographic metropolitan change.
