Between 1975 and 2009 we conducted four surveys about cities in the Czech Republic(formerly part of Czechoslovakia). It has been about 20 years since the democratization began in 1990. Our surveys reveal that there have been enormous positive changes during these years. Among these are various democratic changes in urban spaces in the Czech Republic: the number of both domestic and foreign travelers has increased, user-friendliness in many services has been enhanced, ample commodities are available, beautiful facades have been restored, and memorials of the 1968 revolution have been removed. We also develop a 5-point-taxonomy for the shape of 33 open spaces in 30 cities surveyed in what is now the Czech Republic in 1990, 1998 and 2009. We conclude that the most common shape of open spaces in the Czech Republic is curved, and that this is often true in open spaces that have existed since medieval times, in contrast to modern square, oblong, or round types.
