p data-start=93 data-end=636Large housing estates were the dominant form of housing in socialist cities, with more than half of the urban population residing in themnbsp;ndash; sometimes even exceeding 80%. While the primary focus in housing construction was on efficiency and quantity, attention was also given to the quality of living. The layout of these estates, featuring detached buildings surrounded by expansive green spaces, was designed to create optimal microclimatic and sanitary conditions while also providing recreational areas in close proximity to the apartments./p p data-start=638 data-end=1118After the fall of socialist regimes, cities in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) and Southeastern Europe (SEE) underwent multilayered transformations known as the post-socialist transition. This period was marked by the return of property rights over real estate ndash; buildings and landnbsp;ndash; through processes of privatization and restitution. As integral parts of the urban structure in socialist cities, large housing estates underwent significant changes during the post-socialist period./p p data-start=1120 data-end=1602This paper examines the impact of post-socialist changes on the development and transformation of public open spaces (POS) in inherited multi-family housing areas in selected countries of CEE and Serbia, with a particular focus on the influence of land restitution. By analyzing these examples, the paper aims to establish a relationship between land ownership and the state of POS and identify the potential for their future development and management in a post-socialist context./p
