Examples of new construction in different (South) Eastern European countries

These are some examples of new construction in different (South) Eastern European countries 

MOLDOVA

New areas with:

• no roads
• no water supply
• no electricity (or illegally obtained damaging existing lines)
• no sanitary services (or hospitals at more than 5km)
• schools even further apart (encouraging premature drop out, and thus, illiteracy)

Lack of physical connectivity + education participation: neighbourhoods spatially and economically cut off from the rest of society (Tsenkova, 2006)   

 ESTONIA

Suburban areas:

• During communist period: inhabited by lower social status groups.
• Now: new residential areas only affordable for the wealthiest

 Cities lose their highest tax payers = not enough funds for city management (Kahrik and Tammaru 2006) 

OTHER COUNTRIES

Bosnia/Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Moldova	Albania, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Serbia and Montenegro
More new construction: guarantees mobility	Very polarized tenure (the rich – the poor)+ high demand= new (often illegal) construction
