title: Specific urbanization in East-Central Europe.
abstract: "Socialist urbanization is not a new model of modern urbanization.  East-Central European socialist countries replicate...the global process.  The specific features of their urbanization result partly from their historical development--especially their belated urbanization--and partly from their political system.  Behind the facade of East-West differences lies a common underlying pattern of causality:  the modern process of urbanization. Capitalist and socialist political systems have different mechanisms by which to express the process but these result in similarities in long-term urban development."
