2008
Abstract
The transformation of the former communist countries in Central and Eastern Europe poses a great challenge regarding spatial development of urban areas. Simultaneously, these countries, including the Czech Republic, have experienced a great boom in transport, and individual car transport in particular.
The aggregated data demonstrate that the residential suburbanization is connected to the use of car for commuting and thus a change in modal split toward a higher share of car.
