Post-Socialist Regimes of Housing Inequality.

The research in this paper explores the institutional changes in the housing system during the period of market transition in Bulgaria, and how they are related to educational and residential patterns. The paper focuses on the changing sources of housing inequality. It is argued that there are two urban regimes of housing inequality: the regime of controlled uniformity during the period of socialism and the regime of primitive diversity during the period of market transition. The Bulgarian capital Sofia serves as a case study to demonstrate the link between the two urban regimes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
