Sarajevo, the capital of B osnia and H erzegovina, is located in a karst geomorphological environment. The topographical setting strongly influences the urban geographical distribution and urban development, as well as the sustainability policies implemented in the city. The incorporation of an environmental agenda and the focus on sustainable development have characterised urban planning in cities in C entral and E astern E urope that are transitioning from socialist to capitalist economic systems. Environmental policies in S arajevo are defined within the S arajevo C anton D evelopment S trategy developed under the supervision of international experts at the end of the three‐and‐a‐half years of siege in D ecember 1995, and this is expected to last until 2015. This paper argues that, despite the consensus achieved for developing S arajevo through strategies aligned with E uropean regulations for sustainability, the built environment of the city has moved in an increasingly unsustainable direction as a result of the need to deal with vulnerable groups in the population and the international policies that tend to promote a neoliberal urban development. The first section of analysis focuses on S arajevo's existing particular geomorphological constraints on the development of a secure and sustainable built environment. The second section examines the increase in the geomorphological risks of new construction developed after the conflict in relation to the post‐war and post‐socialist urban processes
