Abstract
The article deals with the implications of the spatial planning process in Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia. The article highlights the need for the formation of zonal plans as a possible solution to the improvement of a certain territory regarding spatial planning. Bratislava, from the perspective of urban planning and design, is a diverse city representing a model for understanding the formation of the urban structure through various political and economic principles. The dynamics of the city’s development after the Second World War was conditioned by new technological and prefabrication constructions, and required new concepts for residential areas that could exceed the geographical barriers; specifically, the Danube River and the Carpathian Mountains, thus enabling further development of the city. In this article, the Carpathian region is presented by a case study of Dúbravka. To understand the developmental process of this area, basic historical, economic, and technical factors are presented. The phases of the realised construction and their comparison with spatial plans show the impacts that affect the functioning of this city part and the city as a whole, to the current day. Positive and negative aspects, potential and new development ideas are described. The existing current spatial plan and the relevant legislation take these aspects into account. The article critically evaluates the current spatial planning methods in the selected area.

Summary
2016 47 1 that Bratislava was the city of many nations. During the Second World War, the city was occupied by Hungarians, who were violently moved away by the Czechoslovakian army. Following the establishment of the socialist regime, residential areas were started on a previously unknown scale New dynamics and the construction technologies, like prefabrication, required finding new residential areas on the other side of the River Danube and the Carpathians Examples of this development were laid in the master plan of the city from the 1960s, which founded the current approach of mass housing areas, functional zoning and transportation. Based on this plan, the international competition for Petržalka (one of the largest communist housing estates) was announced.
