Abstract

The turbulent last decade of the 20th century marked the retail trade of Central and Eastern Europe with a significant transformation not only in the spatial organizational structure but also in the prospects of its functioning. The urban network of retail facilities has undergone a development that can be described as the most spatially variable, based on a change of ownership in the industry, in the past centrally managed to a market system, thus creating a highly competitive environment. The paper focuses on the most visible aspect of the post-socialist development of the city of Central and Eastern Europe: the spatial-organizational structure of the retail feel. The aim of the paper is to present a detailed cross-passportization of the retail network of the city of Nitra in order to document its state in 2019. It can be a starting database for comparison periods, e.g. during and after the Covid-19 pandemic.
