Summary/Abstract: The following papers examines the changing spatial structure of an extremily dynamic Romanian city, the regional centre of Transylvania, Cluj-Napoca. Two main questions are analised. First, we examine the natural and hystorical factors of the city’s development, and, second, the changes in the spatial structure of the present-day city, emphasising the question of the residential zones. The study reveals that the city has strengthened his tertiary functions after 1989, especially the educational, cultural, medical and financial functions. It has hugely contributed to the further social differentiation of the city’s population, and to the expantion of the residential areas.
