%X Sa£¿etak The paper examines the ways interpretations of postmodernism dealt with questions of significant changes in urban space. Investigation of those changes from the 1960s reveals that the discussions about postmodernism mostly involved three thematic areas, namely the architecture and construction of the city, the capitalist transformation of the city, and representations of the city. After reviewing key papers dealing with postmodern architecture, modern capitalism, and difficulties in representing urban space, the impact of social changes characteristic of postmodernism on urban transformations is analyzed. Aestheticization, privatization, and fragmentation appearing in the consumer society, the search for new collective identifications, and an increased concern about satisfying personal needs are reconstructed in that context
