Proměny suburbia: Olomouc – Nová Ulice

The article discusses the transformations of the geographical environment in the modern times, specifically an area in close contact with the important Moravian city of Olomouc. Its objective is to identify and assess crucial moments in the transformation of the structure and function of a selected settlement on the basis of the interdisciplinary approach using a methodological and source apparatus of history and geography. The historical geographical development of an originally autonomous municipality, later on a city and present day Olomouc suburb called Nová Ulice has been affected by both natural processes and political decisions. The impact of these forces often radically changed the face of Nová Ulice.
