The Bulgarian housing situation, given the legacy of 90% home ownership, offers both opportunities and challenges as a setting for a case study. On the one hand, it enables the observation of typical processes associated with the transition to market economy in Central and Eastern Europe: privatisation, changes in housing finance, restructuring of housing production, and emerging residential differentiation. On the other hand, it provides a revealing variation in the process of change as il is experienced in local markets. The research evaluates the impact of housing reforms on the production, distribution and consumption of owner-occupied housing in Bułgaria. A set of key linkages relates the economy, the housing market and the behaviour of market-based institutions and actors in the provision system. The analysis explores those linkages in two buoyant local markets focusing on house price dynamics, market differentiation and demand-driven changes in the supply of owner-occupied housing. 1999-12-30T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/11089/56060 Sales of disused public real estate: public policy or private business?

The role and importance of the Gdańsk conurbation in the network of European cities depends on its following the sustainable development principles. The strategy of sustainable development (derived from a diagnosis and existing conditions) embraces three spheres of spatial development policy:- sustainable and polycentric urban system of the Gdańsk metropolitan area; - spatial and functionally balanced access to technical infrastructure; - active protection of the resources and assets of lhe natural and cultural environment. This strategy cąlls for the use of such instruments that will ensure permanent sustainability of development. Among these instruments Agenda 21 has the central role. 1999-12-30T00:00:00Z
