Political control was transformed but maintained after 2010 in the illiberal Orbán regime. Populist housing privatisation for tenants, insufficient regulation of rental housing, mortgage policy and urban rehabilitations with systemic corruption caused moderate level of housing market commodification. However, gentrification accelerated from 2014. Among other factors, the restriction of mortgage lending and the unplanned expansion of tourism increased the commodification of real estate market. Similar contextual issues were mentioned in the gentrification literature before; however, they remained external modifying effects of the assumed nomothetic political economic mechanisms behind rent gaps under neoliberal governance assumed everywhere. We suggest connecting institutional, social and political factors with dynamics of land rent through the concept of commodification and its effects on potential ground rent to include them within the mechanisms of gentrification.}, year = {2024}, eissn = {1467-9663}, pages = {126-141}, orcid-numbers = {Simonovits, Bori/0000-0002-5727-5043; Csizmady, Adrienne/0000-0002-8282-8623} } @article{MTMT:34454179, title = {Review of Matthias Bernt (2022): The Commodification Gap: Gentrification and Public Policy in London, Berlin and St. Petersburg.

This type of local sovereignty made mezzo-level planning and cooperation of independent municipalities ineffective. The inherent systemic political corruption of the rapid post-socialist privatisation hindered spontaneous cooperation as well. As a result, suburban infrastructure, even in municipalities with high-status residents, remained underdeveloped (from traffic connections through waste management to water provision). Our research field, Telki, was successful in selling land because its scenic location and the absence of industrial and commercial activities made it attractive for high-status suburban settlers. These newcomers were not interested in the further functional development of the village, and, as they took local political power, they successfully restricted economic and functional development. Consequently, selling land and introducing property taxes remained the most important source of income. The colonisation of the village by newcomers also meant the displacement of lower status original villagers and, today, mostly high-status families with young children feel at home in Telki. Others feel excluded not only because of real estate prices but also by the lack of appropriate functions or simply by the narrow concept of an appropriate lifestyle in the village defined by local power. The consequence of a complete lack of cooperation and rational planning is not only social injustice, elite segregation, and environmental harm, but also the reduced economic and housing potential of the Budapest agglomeration.}, year = {2022}, eissn = {2183-7635}, pages = {115-129}, orcid-numbers = {Csizmady, Adrienne/0000-0002-8282-8623} } @{MTMT:32066073, title = {Gentrification, Tourism and the Night-time Economy in Budapest’s District VII. the Role of Regulation in a post-socialist Context}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/32066073}, author = {Olt, Gergely and Smith, Melanie and Csizmady, Adrienne and Sziva, Ivett}, booktitle = {Tourism and the Night.}, unique-id = {32066073}, year = {2021}, pages = {25}, orcid-numbers = {Csizmady, Adrienne/0000-0002-8282-8623} } @inbook{MTMT:31791151, title = {The socio-political context and management of urban conflicts related to night time tourism – the case of post-socialist Budapest}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/31791151}, author = {Olt, Gergely}, booktitle = {ICNS Proceedings}, unique-id = {31791151}, year = {2020}, pages = {43-61} } @article{MTMT:31296615, title = {Gentrification and functional change in Budapest.

Interviews with planners, entrepreneurs, and residents were an important part of the research design. However gaining and interpreting qualitative data was proven difficult in the context of illiberal Hungary. The political environment strongly affects how interviews with stakeholders can be used. The findings could imply to consider theoretical approaches beyond the universal political economy framework. These challenges also show how qualitative data is useful to look behind the scene, even if political power is keen on silencing in depth social research.}, year = {2020}, pages = {79-86} }
