Abstract
Urban structures are material artefacts reflecting the history of the societies that had been creating them, as well as today’s social relations. Post socialist cities are the physical witnesses of the communist ideologies that have gone and the capitalist ambitions that have loudly taken their place. Socialist society projected the high ideals of universal humanity, such as equality, solidarity and unity onto urban development by adopting modernism and following the most progressive concepts of modern architecture and urban planning. Collective values were represented by hierarchical urban structures composed of functionally organised parts which were celebrating social order and a healthy environment.
