ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on three typologies of urban land use in Mostar, in order to gain a deeper understanding of the postwar fragmentation of urban spatial and planning processes. The selected urban zones are: the industrial zone Bie Polje, the city zone Rondo and the Historic District and Old Town zone. The chapter relies heavily on the General Urban Plan, the Urban Spatial Plan and the regulatory plans for three zones in Mostar. Physical changes within the zone were partially due to new economic and land-use policies, the arrival of service industries, consumer culture and so on. The planners working for the Spatial Planning Institute Mostar explain that the new regulatory plan for the zone is first and foremost dealing with infrastructure improvements; the zone was disconnected from other parts of the city by illegal building during and after the war.
