Sažetak
Even though suburbanization is a process that occurred as late as 1960s in the surroundings of larger Croatian cities (Zagreb, Split, Rijeka and Osijek), it has considerably intensified in the post-socialist period when Croatian urban regions have experienced significant demographic and socio-spatial changes. Eventhough in the 1990s all four central cities have recorded population loss, due to the natural decrease and negative migration balance, a significantly greater part of the population still lives in central cities than in their surrounding settlements. However, the population in the surroundings increased owing to immigration both from central cities and other parts of the country as well as to more favourable natural demographic trends. Stronger population dispersion and working places decentralization from central cities to the surroundings have induced strong transformation of surrounding settlements, particularly those situated in close vicinity to the central city, as well as those along major roads.
