Abstract The article focuses on the impact, development and potentials of reurbanisation of inner-city areas in different European cities. Reurbanisation is conceptualised as the process of stabilisation of the inner city by means of both making residents stay and attracting new inhabitants who deliberately decide for an urban location and an urban style of life. The concept of reurbanisation draws on the genuine links between urban development and a small-scale, qualitative dimension of demographic change. Especially household types that gain more importance within the framework of the Second demographic transition, as for example one-person households, cohabiting couples without children, unrelated adults sharing a flat and single parents, are in the focus of the contribution. The inner city with its diverse housing stock and amenities to a high extent meets the needs of these household types and may even become a long-term housing location for them. Despite of different institutional conditions on the national and local scales, the above mentioned developments are to be observed in many European cities. The findings presented here for Leipzig (Germany), Bologna (Italy), León (Spain) and Ljubljana (Slovenia) show by evidence that reurbanisation, whilst varying in its quantitative dimension, exhibits similar qualitative features and driving forces in different European contexts.
