Abstract
A noted American specialist on geography of the former German Democratic Republic discusses population trends before and after the historic German unification. Identifying a number of economic factors, such as job and housing opportunities in the 1990s, the author focuses on the patterns of interregional and east-to-west migration. Presenting statistical compilations covering the period from 1950 through 1996, he also identifies declining industrial cities and former district capitals, as well as regions experiencing industrial restructuring, suburban growth, or relative stabilization after the collapse of the command economy and the socialist regime. Journal of Economic Literature, Classification Numbers: F12, J11, P26,052, R23. 3 figures, 8 tables, 44 references.
