Urbanizing Suburbia considers three current and related processes underway in global cities: the hyper-gentrification of inner cities, the financialization of housing, and the structural changes occurring in the outer city. Rocketing housing prices have displaced residents from inner cities and created a rent gap in outer cities. Increasingly, municipalities, developers, and displaced residents search for opportunities in the suburban belts. Changes in demographics, densities, live/work ratios, and tenures are remaking outer cities, rendering them less and less suburban. The book examines these changes by looking at four key European cities: Amsterdam, Berlin, London, and Stockholm. It is a first attempt at understanding the three processes discussed here within one comprehensive explanatory framework.

Urbanizing Suburbia erforscht die Beziehung zwischen drei aktuellen Prozessen in globalen Städten: Hyper-Gentrifizierung der Innenstädte, Finanzialisierung des Wohnens und strukturelle Veränderungen in Vororten. Die explodierenden Wohnungspreise in Großstädten haben zu einer enormen Abwanderung von Einwohner*innen aus den Innenstädten geführt, von denen sich viele in den Speckgürteln niedergelassen haben. Dieser demografische Wandel führt in Verbindung mit den spezifischen Sanierungsstrategien der Kommunen zu einer Neustrukturierung der Vorstädte. Die Publikation untersucht diese Veränderungen am Beispiel von vier europäischen Großstädten: Amsterdam, Berlin, London und Stockholm. Es ist ein erster Versuch, diese drei Prozesse innerhalb eines umfassenden Rahmens zu betrachten.
