Abstract

This paper addresses the extent to which urbanization in Hungary has fulfilled planning ideology. In particular, aspects of overall urban systems and regional development, industrialization, housing, and features of the so-called socialist are examined. Results indicate that although the urban system has become more balanced in recent years, marked disparities exist in the regional pattern of city growth rates, trends of industrialization, and in the provision of housing. Furthermore, the cities have not met all expectations. Socialism appears to be producing a fundamentally new-though still contradictory-process of urbanization based on the State's concern for efficiency rather than equity.
