DESCRIPTION:*Abstract:* Suburbanization in Central and Eastern European ci
 ties has become the predominant form of metropolitan growth\, undermining 
 seriously the application of sustainable urban development principles in t
 he region. The negative impacts of sprawl are just beginning to emerge as 
 an area of public concern in the post-socialist cities where urban growth 
 is managed through a mixture of uncoordinated and often conflicting polici
 es. The presentation investigates the impact of contemporary public polici
 es on the patterns of urban growth in Central and Eastern European cities\
 , highlighting both commonalities and variations in the post-socialist res
 ponses to the challenges of growth management in the beginning of the twen
 ty-first century.\n\n*Biography:* Kiril Stanilov holds a PhD in Urban Desi
 gn and Planning from the University of Washington. From 1998 to 2008 he wa
 s a faculty member at the University of Cincinnati where he taught courses
  in urban design\, physical planning\, and contemporary urbanisation. He i
 s a senior research associate at the Martin Centre for Architectural and U
 rban Studies. Kiril Stanilov’s research interests are centred on explora
 tions of contemporary patterns of urban growth and change\, and the role p
 layed by public policies in shaping urban form transformations. His book p
 ublications include: Twenty Years of Transition\, The Post-Socialist City\
