Abstract
If the city and its physical structure are understood as some kind of an extended, external \nmemory of the human mind, two aspects are observable. The first relates to the characteristics of \nthe city and its places to help in the orientation and way finding of its citizens and visitors. They \ncould be explored through mental or cognitive maps. The second aspect includes the elements \ninvolved in generating the image and identity of the city. Looking at the pedestrian space as an \nenvironment that achieves the most intimate relationship of users and the city, the paper would \npresent the elements that can be seen as cognitive performances of pedestrian spaces. They will \nbe analysed at the area of the City of Belgrade, central pedestrian network with the aim to identify \nexisting and to propose future of the proposals elements that will contribute to its extension and \nintensive use.
