Non-residential suburbanisation in the Czech Republic (Prague and Brno) SELMA meeting, Madrid, June 27-29, 2003 Luděk Sýkora & Martin Ouředníček Charles University in Prague, Czechia
Case study: Czech Republic (Prague, Brno) 1) The context 2) Case study cities 3) Method • Territorial division of urban area • Data used (population, employment, land use) 4) Population deconcentration 1991-2001 5) Employment deconcentration 1991-2001 6) Land use change 1991-2001 7) Conclusion
The context: suburbanisation in Czech metropolitan areas • Suburbanisation is a very recent phenomena: it developed in last 5 years • Until mid 1990s there was only marginal residential suburbanisation (limited purchasing power of population) • Since 1997: radical development of commercial suburbanisation (shopping centres and retail parks, warehousing and logistic zones) • Since the end of 1990s: dynamic development of residential suburbanisation(growth in wealth and introduction of mortgages)
Residential suburbanisation • Individual homebuilders as well as whole districts made by one developer • High share of inhabitants with high incomes • State supported mortgages • Changing socio-spatial pattern in metropolitan area • Social polarisation in suburban localities
Commercial suburbanisation • retail, warehousing and distribution, (industry) • demand from international firms expanding on Czech markets • logistic and retail parks close to highways (and Metro)
Suburbanisation of retail • Radical growth since 1997 • First suburban shopping in Prague opened in 1996 (IKEA in Zličín) and four main concentrations developed since that time • Massive explosion of retail in Brno • Radical transformation in spatial pattern of shopping • 1989: half of retail turnover in city centre • 1998: hypermarket as first shopping place for 4% of Czechs • 2000: hypermarket as first shopping place for 20% of Czechs and 25% of Prague inhabitants
An example of consequences:Increase in car transportation 1996-2001 • Prague - suburban zone 164000 -> 267000, 1.6 % • Prague - outer areas 83000 -> 86000, 1.0 % • Transit 16000 -> 25000, 1.6 % • Total 263000 -> 378000, 1.4 % • 70 % of all journeys is commuting between Prague and suburbs • Suburban commuting accounted for 90 % of growth between 1996-2001
Management of suburban growth • Its regulation requires regional planning and policy tools. • Czech planning system has physical plans for regions and strategies of regional development: neither of them includes the issue of sprawl. • However, the major planning authority is at the municipal level • Fragmented local government in metropolitan areas • Two regional governments in the case of Prague´s metropolitan region • Central government support to FDI was in 1998-2000 exclusively allocated to greenfield investments.
Method: territorial division of metropolitan area City centre Inner city First suburban zone - inside city boundaries Second suburban zone - outside city boundaries

Population deconcentration 1991-2001 • Data from annual statistics for population growth and migration and censuses 1991, 2001 for structures of population(preliminary results) • PMA - Natural decrease of population of each zone • Centre and inner city: natural and migration decrease • 1st suburban ring: from slow migration increase to stagnation • 2nd suburban ring: from slow migration increase to rapid suburbanisation process
