Multigenerational housing is increasingly represented at the beginning of XXI century. There are cultural reasons in underdeveloped countries, and mainly economic reasons in developed countries for developing such housing type. In Bosnia and Herzegovina, multigenerational individual type of housing construction is largely present after the war 1992-'95 on the surrounding slopes of Sarajevo. Because of the configuration of new settlements and the fact that it is unplanned construction, new neighbourhoods resemble slums. However, these are permanent structures for which were spent considerable economic resources. Due to the fact that people willingly choose this model of housing in the period after the war, instead of collective condominium building types, this phenomenon should be researched by the academic community. The paper argues that the causes of representation of the multigenerational individual type of housing are dissolution of former socialist society, collapse of social confidence and the inability of society to organize to a higher level but the level of family. The quality of new residence, per the criteria of the housing surface, its insulation and the open areas is significantly higher compared to the previous standards of socialist construction, while the spatial quality of settlements, its infrastructure, equipment and opportunities for further development and integration are poor. Dissolution of the society is led to the dissolution of space; therefore strengthening the community should lead to the unification of community space. Future spatial integration of settlements depends of the ability of society to integrate at a higher level from the family level.
