anotace	Urban street network and its backbone. The growing concentration of urban population has presented the opportunities and challenges concerning possible alternatives of sustainable development in future. Despite plentiful historical evidence of the fact that the towns represent the principal driving force of innovation and economic growth, the quantitative theory of predicting the understanding of their dynamism and organization, and the estimates of their future trajectory still remain obscure. The towns represent complex systems consisting of various subsystems. The size and shape of the towns are well defined benchmarks for the law of intensive competition concerning the place and the area, and therefore it is important to develop and expand integrated theories of the town growths combing urban economics, transportation systems (infrastructure) with other factors in order to understand them better. This paper focuses on some specific features of the street networks in the towns, describing the methods and analyses, and deals with the fractal urban growth not only from the areal but also a systems point of view. Professionally it relies on the three theories and a partial research carried out in the selected cities in Slovakia, with the follow-up synthesis of the information and knowledge so obtained. The general consequences are, quite naturally, already well known. However, despite the consequences, it is urgent to seek for the ways out and for the relevant answers to questions concerning the ideal and effective geometrical shape of the street network, with due regard to the historical development of the towns in Slovakia, facilitating some feasible approaches as to its growth or regression in the following periods. Defining the skeleton of the street network should be of substantial importance, as it represents the supporting/bearing system for the urban public areas, in a variety of scales, beginning with the conceptual and ending with micro scales, respecting the urban and architectural planning.
