Abstract
This book is the result of a scientific research based on a defined abstract model tested here on a concrete case study - Budapest - and questions its urban development processes between 1990 and 2010. Instead of giving some general statements, the author carries out an indepth analysis and defines his thesis about the recent urbanization of the city. He claims that it was not a random process leading to different consequences but a clearly recognizable series of patterns. It resulted directly from certain factors and narratives which form the basis for the analysis of a post-socialist city and its urbanization. Kiss dedicates his final chapter to a thorough analysis of one of the topical urban zones of Budapest, the so-called Corvin-Quarter. The book is supplemented with a conversation about urbanization between Ákos Moravánszky, Kees Christiaanse (both professors at ETH Zürich) and the author of this book.
