Overview

There are many cities in the world that have developed continually over time and are universally admired for their natural beauty. Contrastingly, there are cities whose appearance is the outcome of thorough and careful planning, where our admiration is due to the architects and urban designers. Yet for most of the worlds cities, their current state is shaped as much by organic development as by planning, with greater or lesser success. An exemplary instance of such a city is Bratislava. Its appearance today was decisively formulated by the efforts of modern planning toward guided development. The authorial team, consisting of Henrieta Moravcikova, Peter Szalay, Katarina Haberlandova, Laura Kristekova, and Monika Bockova, investigates the wider contexts that influenced the planning of the Slovak capitol, as well as the results of its fragmentary realisation.
