Vliv fortifikací na utváření a vývoj našich měst

The founding of the vast majority of cities in the Czech Republic is closely related to the extent and form of their fortifications. For centuries, city walls were a determining force in urbanism, and in many cities their influence is still evident and valid today. This paper summarizes the key principles of the development of urban structures in relation to city fortifications and outlines possible lessons learned from them, which could be applied to current urban planning. The area-based constraint on city development in the past has led to qualitative development of the built-up within the walled area. An important role was played primarily by privileges that supported the economy within the walls. Perhaps such measures could be used for the development of selected areas within present-day cities as well.
