Abstract

Post-socialist urban development in the case study of the Slovakia’s capital city is considered from an integrating generalizing perspective. The purpose of this paper is to propose a descriptive model of the spatiotemporally differentiated urban change, a potential base for further research. Such a model should have the ability to reflect a complex network of interdependencies between various wide and narrow partial processes discussed in literature. A cyclic expression of the urban dynamics linking its elements in the urban social and material environment serves as a basis for identification of a hypothetical footprint typology. In the scheme, the footprints of the most visible processes are connected to actual morphological types and sub-periods of transition. An exact testing of the spatiotemporal hypothesis is left in this paper for later stages of research.
