Summary:

This book explores the transformation of suburban areas in major European cities—Amsterdam, Berlin, London, and Stockholm—into more urbanized spaces, driven by demographic changes, investment, and new urban typologies. It examines how these suburbs, traditionally seen as residential retreats, are being reshaped by densification, financial speculation, and housing crises in inner cities. The book addresses the socio-economic and spatial implications of these changes, highlighting issues such as displacement, segregation, and affordability. Through interviews, case studies, and theoretical insights, it presents a comprehensive analysis of the suburban-urban dynamic and challenges the traditional core-periphery urban model, aiming to provide insights for urban planners, policymakers, and scholars in urban studies.
