Oktatás célja
The primary aim of the course is to provide an overview of the most relevant theories concerning the relationship between socialist and capitalist urbanisation, to introduce the main characteristics of the so-called ‘socialist new towns’ (planned industrial towns), and, predominantly through Hungarian examples, to discuss the key features of urban development and urban structure in the socialist and the post-socialist period. In the second half of the semester, the post-1990 transformation processes of inner city areas, socialist-era housing estates and formerly mono-functional industrial areas are examined (both in class, as well as within the confines of two field trips in Budapest), and the intricate interconnectedness of ideology, (state) power and the use of urban open space is explored through local examples. In addition to gaining knowledge in the fields of urban geography, urban history and urban sociology, as another important goal of the course, Erasmus students and Hungarian geographer students of Eötvös Loránd University also have an opportunity for networking, sharing experiences, and establishing long-term scientific relations.
