There is a generation of young adults, ignored to date by research, who have grown up in their parents' suburban homes in Prague's hinterland and are now on the brink of making the important life decision of choosing where they want to live. They are attracted to the rich and dynamic life of the city and repelled by the notion of making a daily commute to the remote and boring suburbs. But the rapid rise in prices in Prague's housing market and the related housing affordability crisis are preventing young adults from pursuing the suburb-to-city migration trajectory they largely favour. This article analyses statistical data on population growth, housing construction, and migration to reveal the source municipalities and migration patterns of young suburban adults and discusses its implications for geodemographic metropolitan change.
