This paper examines continuity and discontinuity in Banja Luka’s urban regulation strategies, focusing on the evolution of the open regulation model as a flexible framework for managing the urban landscape. The study highlights its persistence through diverse historical and conceptual approaches and identifies key phases of urban development shaped by socio-political transitions and incomplete planning doctrines. Despite regulatory fragmentation, adaptive strategies have preserved the city’s landscape identity, while emphasizing the need to stabilize the normative framework for long-term spatial order. Based on theoretical foundations and literature review, the analysis demonstrates how regulation has influenced urban form and identity. The study enhances understanding of Banja Luka’s identity as a landscape city and outlines a framework for adaptive urban development strategies relevant to contemporary conditions.
