Suburbanisation and Society

Abstract

The situation of Budapest and its agglomeration is a good example how the change of the political-power structure effects social relationships. In the last few years between the two fields more closer connection and interaction was developed than earlier. These changes make it reasonable to analyse how can we understand the spatial dimension of urban society, when we carry out our survey not simple within the administration border of the capital, but we examine both the capital and its agglomeration. The first question of the study is how can we understand the spatial dimensions of social processes within the area of the capital and its agglomeration. In other words we analyse that the spatial segregation of high and low status strata in what extent step across the settlement borders and what kind of patterns do the risks of the poverty concentration have during such research.
