Summary/Abstract: Some smaller cities in the Czech Republic are undergoing significant territorial development. However, the rapid growth of the city, in combination with socio-economic changes, leads to substantial pressure on the city's economy, residents and the environment. Therefore, in further developing the territory, emphasis must be placed on its sustainable development. Using the example of Kuřim, this article shows what effect its growth can bring. Currently, the construction of a new residential district of Záhoří is taking place, the completion of which will cause a rapid increase in the number of inhabitants in Kuřim. The paper's main goal is to evaluate the impact of its planned development in the following years based on the analysis of the current situation in the city of Kuřim. This evaluation is based on the fundamental pillars of sustainable development, i.e. economic, social and environmental. The newly built residential complex will create a new public space in the city, which will function as an independent unit. The land will be taken economically during construction, and the necessary civic amenities will be created. Due to the geographical proximity of the city of Brno, the current high offer of jobs and the creation of new ones, the unemployment rate is not expected to increase.
