Abstract
We might perceive the suburbanization as a form of urbanization processes when it comes to the migration of population and their activities from the town to its background. The term urban sprawl is understood as a violent development of suburban areas, which is prevailingly related to the origination of large residential regions in the surrounding of large cities. Urban sprawl has many negative consequences for residents and the environment, water and air pollution, increased traffic and jams, parking. A long-term problem of the Slovak Republic is taking up arable soil for property development, especially in the field of residential projects. The factors which contributed to agriculture land grabbing are primarily caused by new housing, industrial and commercial locations as well as in the transport infrastructure. The paper points to problems of the urban sprawl of towns (on the example of the biggest city district Bratislava - Petržalka), which induce several negative effects.
