Forced Relocation to Urban Peripheries

Under socialist urban development and housing schemes, Roma families were relocated to housing estates on the outskirts of towns. While officially framed as integration and improvement of living standards, these relocations often resulted in isolation, poor-quality housing, and limited access to services. In practice, they contributed to the formation of segregated neighbourhoods that symbolised state neglect.
