  • Sarajevo is one of the least understood cities in modern history. This paper examines its occupation of 1878, when Western planners embarked on a mission to rebuild and preserve its urban centre. In trying to solidify the city, they uprooted an established rhythm of destruction and renewal, the ‘territorial processes’ that had shaped Sarajevo. Drawing on Corboz’s theory, this paper argues that Western urban planning engendered an intangible but irreversible challenge to the old Ottoman city.
