The spread of built-up areas is a basic issue for current urban planning. Principles of sustainable development generally known today incline to condensation, but there is opposing pressure from inhabitants for more sparse development, with enough areas for relaxation. In this dialectic conflict, the Copenhagen Finger Plan can be regarded as a synthesis: urban planning requires busy radials with urban transportation that protect the open landscape between the fingers of a city. This article presents the results of a series of earlier studies testing the principles of this development in the setting of middle-sized Czech cities. The main part of the article deals with the latest study in which the relation between the urban setting and the use of urban transportation is explored. The results indicate that application of the principles of radial development in middle-sized Czech cities is feasible.
