Abstract

For the last couple of years I was involved in a comparison research that has occupied me in various patterns. In 2011 a study of urban structure of more than fifty cities in central and eastern Europe with focus on former Yugoslav cities was conducted to specify the basic distinction of the ex – Yugoslav cities from similar central and east european cities. The research focused on the city structure and based on the available aerial photograph digital data cities of medium and large size (from approximately 100.000 to 2.000.000 inhabitants) were taken into consideration. A procedure to approach and trace the urban fabric was invented and the urban structure was connected to the research of the city urban development history and observation of entities and elements of specific urban structures in comparison to the urban development facts. According to the gathered data structural similarities in former Yugoslav cities were recognized and defined, and a phenomena of “ex – yugoslav city” started to reveal itself.
