Regeneration policies for peripheral housing estates : inward-and outward-looking approaches
Problem peripheral estates may be seen as a particular variant of the wider phenomenon of the hard-to-let social housing estate. Peripherality refers to a range of phenomena, including spatial isolation, long travel-to-work distances

The spatial income pattern of Hungary significantly altered after the political transition. The change influenced the territorial characteristics of peripheral areas. The development of the formerly backward areas in Western Hungary was confirmed
