Abstract
In the current urban-geographic research in Slovakia dominates evaluation of suburbanization trends, but each city has internal reserves for intensification development, too. Intensification of land use (“growth inside”) can not be understood only as an unhealthy thickening of the building. If carried out in accordance with the urban planning, it is notably a rationalization of the use of built-up area. On example of the city of Banská Bystrica, this post presents one of the tools for cartometric identification and quantitative evaluation of perspective areas for intensification of spatial growth of the city, based on calculation of spatial concentration of urbanly unused areas.
Keywords: spatial intensification, urbanly unused areas, built up area, Banská Bystrica
