Banja Luka reflects on its past so that it can plan for its future. This project records the Banja Luka that only exists in plans, photographs, municipal records, the memories of its inhabitants. It is a part of a research project on collective memory and the city, which indexed the plans of Banja Luka in archives around the world, and developed a discourse on cities and memory, drawing on architectural, sociological, and psychological literature. In the Notation of Life diagram, Geddes argued that the development of the consciousness of a society mirrors the development of its built environment. The inner terms Town, School, University, City comprises the stages by which town evolves into city; the outer terms Acts, Facts, Dreams, Deeds comprise the corresponding cycle by which consciousness evolves from a consuming preoccupation with subsistence labour to reflection, to future planning, to its institution in the city, which for Geddes was the most advanced artifact of civilization. This plan of Banja Luka, which deals with reflection and planning, resides in the two bottom quadrants of Geddes diagram.
