Abstract
The conceptual framework explained herein examines the blurred and askew
structure of neglected urban neighbourhoods in post-socialist cities. This
requires innovative, small-scale, dynamic proposals in order to overcome
the rigid administrative procedure of urban development and to transform
the negative side effects of imitating and lagging behind the conventional
urbanisation model and those of the accelerating globalisation into a
development impetus suited to these environments. In this highly
competitive international economic and political arena, transitional
countries experience severe consequences due to the paucity of practical
experience within this new context of a market economy and decentralised
political and administrative powers, a lack of resources, the scarcity of
general international investment and scant interest in seeing dramatic
shifts in all aspects of social organisation and urban transformations. The
alternative strategy could be put forth through bottom-up spatial
production of all the urban actors and stakeholders involved as a common
denominator of a non-intrusive platform for the active representation,
assessment and management of urban conflicts as a range of iterative
“inter-states”.
