This article sets out to examine regeneration policies in Prague. After introducing the concept of regeneration and regeneration theories and reviewing foreign cases of regeneration of problem neighbourhoods, the authors analyse the situation in Prague and attempt to answer three basic questions: How do the authorities in Prague approach social-spatial inequalities and urban regeneration in the city? What are the objectives of the city’s regeneration policies and what tools are used? Who are the main actors involved in regeneration policies and how do they relate to each other? The study of documents and interviews with the people who are the actors involved in regeneration policies showed that the ‘regeneration policies for problem neighbourhoods’ in a post-socialist city differ significantly from the approaches applied in Western cities. In Prague regeneration policies do not rank high on the ladder of local political priorities, and local politicians implicitly assume that the situation in the city and its districts and neighbourhoods will improve, existing problems will be eliminated, and the city’s inhabitants will see a rise in their economic and social status. A detailed analysis showed that the lack of emphasis placed on the regeneration of problem neighbourhoods is mainly due to structural factors. Socio-spatial inequalities in Prague are still smaller than in most otherwise comparable cities in the Western world, the spatial concentration of existing problems is not too great, and the spatial patterns of social and economic problems in the city do not overlap very much. Spatial concentrations of problems in Prague are thus far mainly found in a micro-local form, encompassing just individual buildings, clusters of buildings, or at most one to several blocks.

The author deals with a new phenomenon in Central and Eastern Europe after the fall of communism – the gated community. This term refers to a residential area with at least two buildings, separated from the surrounding area by a physical barrier and accessible only to residents. The emergence of gated communities is a consequence of residential segregation of the inhabitants as one of the processes in a post-socialist city. The text offers a brief overview of the studies on these settlements abroad concerning their history, the factors and circumstances of their origin, their forms and impact. The author takes note of the situation in Central Europe and pays attention to the research that has been dealing with the issue in the region. The last part of the study deals with the phenomenon of gated communities in Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia.
