Since 1989 the central areas of Slovak towns have undergone striking changes in content and function. One may rate positively the exclusion of traffic and the introduction of pedestrian zones where the commercial and social-cultural potential of the town is normally concentrated. This has created opportunities for meeting, casual trade and social contacts. Based on research into the changes of content and function in the centre of Banská Bystrica, one may say that the hitoric memory of the town has come into confrontation with the new contents, meanings and symbols immediately present in the town´s central areas. The nodes of communication are gradually changing in the process of transformation, while at the same time modernisation fills with new contents abov all those "vacated places" which were distinctively marked by socialism in the recent past. Freedom of enterprise, free trade and the market mechanism have permitted new elements and processes and business executives as well as in the massive inrush of hypermarkets and shopping centres. A positive phenomenon is the fact that in the process of rebuilding the square and its adjoining streets the original historic character of the town centre has been preserved and courtyards have been open up and made accessible to the public, which suitable building extensions for small shops and enterprises. However, the construction of commercial-social centre situated in the vicinity of the pedestrian zone has disrupted many of the square´s functions and much commercial and social activity has transferred itself to this new complex.
