dc.description.abstractHousing estates cannot be considered merely as products of the socialist system since they can also be found in Western Europe thought their significance and role differ from that of the former socialist countries. Housing estates on the housing market of Western countries are important, nevertheless they represent only a low proportion of the whole dwellingstock (P. Dunleavy 1981, U. Herlyn 1989, E. Van Kempen - S. Musterd 1991). In spite of that, from the beginning of the 1980's almost all western-european governments made attempts to carry out various programs on modernization and rehabilitation of housing estates. The problems in East-Central European countries turn up to be more serious, since the number of dwellings in housing estates and people living there goes far beyond the West-European scales. (W. Rietdorf - H. Liebmann - T. Knorr-Siedow 1994, E. Müller 1997). Building quality is in many cases lower and rehabilitation is very needed, However, steps for renewal have not been accomplished as yet. The idea of housing estate and the building of the first housing estates in Hungary dates back to the turn of the century, but an overall expansion was not accomplished till after the II. World War. Considering the size, building material and technology, we can talk about generations of high-rise estates, which apart from the built environment show significant differences in terms of the natural and the social environment (Hegedûs J. 1987, Szelényi 1990, Kovács Z. 1998).
