Transition of Retail in Prague- A Stakeholder Analysis
Monday, July 27th, 2009 | University
Thesis is done! Now I`ve some time to write about it…Let`s start then!
The collaps of the old socialistic system ushered the former Eastern Bloc states in a new era. The transition from the command towards a free market economy has been a tour de forces which ment a radical social and political change.
This thesis focuses on the transitional process at the retail market which is supposed to be “most sensitive to changes”.
Due to the political and economical changes in the Czech Re-public in the beginning of the nineties, this market underwent significant re-structuring, which had an impact on the real estate market, the supply and demand situation as well as on the spatial structure of the city of Prague.
The co-operation between the major stakeholder groups – urban planning, developer, real estate and trading companies – is of primary importance for the empirical analysis of the thesis. Several experts have been interviewed concerning the above mentioned context in Prague.
In the first place it`s intresting to look at the theory, which I`ll introduce to you in the first part of this post-series.
Then we`ll have look at some examples of retail projects in Prague to visualize the current situation.
In the third part, I`ll analyse the stakeholder co-coperation as well as the impact on the urban planning in Prague.
