This bachelor thesis is dedicated to the study of spatial planning in post-socialist cities, with a focus on the use of land rent theory and morphological attributes of urban fabric. The work conceptualises the notion of potential development zones and defines a methodology for identifying them based on a generalised typology of development using the Spacematrix methodology. As an additional innovation, the work incorporates parameters for assessing land rent. As a result, it identifies typologically unformed areas of urban fabric, highlights their clustering, and assesses their potential for reorganisation.
