Kako daleč vidimo?
Vprašanje, ki ga lahko razumemo na dva načina, ima dve di-
menziji – prostorsko in časovno. Ali je pomembnejša pot ali 
cilj, načrtovanje ali izvedba? Idealno ni enega brez drugega. 
Dobro je, če zadovoljstvo najdemo tako v delu kot v rezultatih 
in zasluženem počitku. Končanim projektom pa sledijo vedno 
novi projekti in izzivi. 
Po več kot osmih letih uspešnega in predanega dela je funkcijo 
glavnega urednika revije Urbani izziv sklenil Boštjan Kerbler. 
Uredniško delo bo nadaljeval pri strokovni izdaji revije. V ime-
nu uredniškega odbora se mu lepo zahvaljujem za dosedanje 
delo! Lahko rečemo, da je to sprememba v najboljšem trenutku 
in ob vseh doseženih zastavljenih ciljih: revija je mednarodno 
priznana, vključena je v številne tuje in domače bibliografske 
baze, dosega veliko citiranost, ima odprt dostop, ohranja in širi 
svoj krog bralcev. Upam, da bomo uspešno zgodbo s skupnimi 
močmi tudi nadaljevali. Za vsako številko revije stojijo avtorji, 
recenzenti, uredniki, prevajalci in lektorji, oblikovalci, tiskarji 
in nenazadnje vodstvo Urbanističnega inštituta Republike Slo-
venije, ki prispevajo svoj čas, svoje znanje in svoj trud, da revija 
obstaja in se razvija. Hvala vsem in toplo vabljeni k sodelovanju 
tudi v prihodnje!
Prva letošnja številka prinaša šest člankov, katerih avtorji 
predstavljajo raziskave in prostorsko-načrtovalske izzive iz vse 
Evrope, od Norveške, Švedske, Nemčije, Madžarske, Poljske, 
Bosne in Hercegovine do Slovenije. Zato je raznolika tudi vse-
bina: oblikovanje mestnega prostora in identitete v povojnem 
Sarajevu, razvoj novih in najbolj znanih trajnostnih sosesk v 
Evropi, razvoj podjetništva v predmestnih območjih, vprašanje 
lastništva stanovanj, načrtovanje novih sosesk, ki bodo imele 
identiteto, in razvoj zdravstvenih storitev za starejše, prilago-
jenih povpraševanju.
Upam, dragi bralci, da bo branje prijetno in poučno, ne glede 
na to, ali boste članke brali v elektronski ali tiskani obliki, v 
pisarni, na klopi v parku ali v viseči mreži ob morju. Vsem 
želim prijetno poletje in srečno, kamorkoli vas zanese pot skozi 
prostor in čas!

How far ahead can we see?
This question can be interpreted in two different ways and has 
two dimensions: space and time. What is more important: the 
path or the goal? The planning or the implementation? Ideally, 
one cannot exist without the other. It is good to find satisfac-
tion in our work as well as our results and well-deserved rest, 
bearing in mind that completed projects are always followed 
by constantly new projects and challenges.
After more than eight years of successful and dedicated work, 
Boštjan Kerbler has wrapped up his term as the editor-in-chief 
of Urbani izziv. He will, however, continue to edit the journal’s 
special issues. On behalf of the editorial board, I would like to 
thank him for all of the work he has accomplished. One could 
say this change comes at the best possible moment, when the 
journal has achieved all of the goals it set: it is internationally 
recognised, is included in many international and Slovenian 
bibliographic databases, is frequently cited, has open access, 
and is maintaining and expanding its circle of readers. I look 
forward to continuing this success story through our joint ef-
forts. The authors, reviewers, editors, translators, copyeditors, 
layout specialists, and printers – and ultimately the Urban 
Planning Institute’s management – stand behind every issue 
of the journal, contributing their time, expertise, and efforts 
to help the journal exist and develop. I would like to thank all 
of you, and I look forward to working with you in the future.
The first issue this year features six articles, in which the authors 
present their studies and spatial-planning challenges from all 
across Europe (i.e., Norway, Sweden, Germany, Hungary, Po-
land, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Slovenia). Accordingly, the 
topics discussed are also highly diverse: shaping urban spaces 
and identity in post-war Sarajevo, the development of new and 
leading sustainable neighbourhoods in Europe, the develop-
ment of entrepreneurship in suburban areas, homeownership, 
planning new neighbourhoods with identities and the develop-
ment of senior healthcare services adapted to demand.
Dear readers, I wish you a pleasant and informative reading 
regardless of whether you are reading the articles in electronic 
or print form, at your office, on a bench in the park, or in a 
hammock on the beach. I wish everyone a great summer and 
success wherever your path through space and time may lead 
you.
