The aim of this paper is to investigate the possibility of improving the state of undeveloped spaces in urban areas. The first part of this paper focuses on the state of the undeveloped spaces of the urban landscape. To recognize their character and quality, the Narrative Spatial Analytics (NSA) method was proposed. It integrates three design research techniques which enable landscape designers to expand the scope of their research practice. The second part of the paper discusses a case study of neglected green space, once intended for military infrastructure. The space is located in the area of the Vrbas coast and the alongside the Serbian Army Boulevard in Banja Luka. It could be incorporated into the urban green matrix as a park. The phases of urban regulation and the solution concept for the arrangement of a new park, as well as the elaboration details were analyzed, which completed the process of improving the Banjaluka green matrix.
