O urbanističkom razvoju Visokog od XIV do konca XIX stoljeća
The Urban Development of the City Visoko from the XIV until the End of XIX Century

Summary/Abstract: Visoko belongs in the group of Bosnian and Herzegovinian cities with the longest urban continuity. Science has a respectable number of high-quality research about the history of Urban urbanism based on written sources. The author of the text attempts to penetrate the urban physiology of the city in the genesis from the central position within the medieval Bosnia, through the close periphery in the first centuries of the Ottoman Bosnia, to the modern age (in the Bosnian and Herzegovinian context The thread of the XIX century) that has seen it as a lower-level provincial urban environment. In this sense, the distinctive Bosnian medieval and Ottoman civilizations had differently formed urban concepts, and their application and physical manifestation on the example of the concrete city organism is in the focus of this work. In addition to the various basic principles in accessing the city area of the medieval and Ottoman epochs, the elements of artistic and spatial-ambient continuity were identified, especially with regard to the articulation of the natural advantages of the terrain in Medieval and Ottoman architectural-urbanistic goals. The treated long-term process was an authentic expression of the urban physiognomy of Visoko from it’s archaic premodern urbanist era. The organization of space, ambience and image at the end of the period considered possessed urban qualities insufficiently prominent in our knowledge of Visoko.
