Abstract
Understanding objectives of the contemporary cityscape design as a harmonious, sustainable development on the basis of the past structures, cities for information society should be based on diversification and multithreading. This approach creates potential for fixing current problems: crisis of city centres, disintegration and economic, social and cultural fragmentation—as well as the urban sprawl phenomenon. The development does not have to signify a continuation of mass urbanization known from the past decades, only a better utilization of available and owned resources.
