The boroughs of the central part of Western Serbia (Užice, Bajina Bašta, Požega, Kosjerić, Arilje, Ivanjica and Rogačica) originate in the early 19th century. The three towns are newly founded by urban plans: Požega 1832, Rogačica 1839, Bajina Bašta 1858. Two settlements were reconstructed after the fire: Užice (1863,1891) and Ivanjica (1846). Spontaneously built settlements are regulated by plans as a condition for obtaining the status of the boroughs (Arilje 1880, Kosjerić 1892). The paper analyzes the settlement center based on: the influence of the historical development of the settlement, the cultural influences, the role of the settlement, the geometric characteristics and the form, the characteristics of the square of the square and the environment, the relationship between the center and the street network, the objects that form the center, the communal equipment of the center. The paper gives the historical development of the boroughs and brings the plans, photographs, and drawings.
