Urban cultural landscape is often interpreted as the visual scheme illustrating the relationship of powers, as well as needs and lifestyles of local and national societies. Cultural landscape of post-socialist cities can be seen as a living laboratory of transforming meanings and forms. Circulation and iconographical metaphors are used to present the contemporary global and local trends. During the period of socialist supremacy, the centrally steered circulations had been enforced to every urban and regional landscape. Since 1989 another kind of circulation appeared, dominated by unified and Western-styled liberalism, and represented by neo-liberal fraction of the society, in opposition to traditional and territorially anchored icons and allegories.
