Social environment Change and its Perception in Transition Localities in Prague Metropolitan Region
Aim of project
The transformation of ownership relations after 1990 and the revival of real estate market have been mirrored into the changes of physical and social spatial urban structure. The social environment of localities of Prague metropolitan region has been changed as a consequence of this transformation.
