Tema rada je razvoj centralnih funkcija Sesveta u gradskoj aglomeraciji kroz povijesni, a u istraživanju teme primijenjena su dva metodološka koncepta-geografski i povijesni. Kroz rad se analiziraju prirodno–geografska obilježja prostora Sesveta kako bismo što lakše objasnili razloge naseljavanja i razvoja naseljenosti kroz povijesni aspekt. Upravo je porast broja stanovnika doveo do transformacije naselja Sesvete i razvoja centralnih funkcija. Kroz historijskogeografski razvoj prikazan je razvoj centralnih funkcija Sesveta od najranijeg traga naseljenosti, tj. prapovijesti i antike kroz razdoblje srednjeg vijeka pa sve do suvremenog doba. Završni dio rada razmatra budući razvoj i mogućnosti za urbanom transformacijom užeg središta Sesveta, obzirom na pozitivne demografske pokazatelje.The topic of the paper is the development of central functions of Sesvete in urban agglomeration through the historical aspect, and in the research of the subject two methodological concepts have been applied- geographic and historical.
