Rječina River Basin Restoration (Croatia)

The city of Rijeka (Croatia) developed from the old Tarsatica on the right and the newer Sušak on the left side of the River Rječina right on the river's mouth in the Adriatic Sea. The Rječina was the driver of the city, it moved mills, supplied the city with drinking water (and still does) and along its flow the first manufacture, and later industrial plants of this city in development, were raised. Today these areas and industrial buildings along the Rječina mostly do not fulfil their primary function and are waiting for their conversion and re-integration in the life of the city. This paper will show plans as well as already undertaken regulation, restoration and revitalisation works in the riverbed and the riversides of the Rječina. These solutions try to achieve social benefits by connecting the city and its citizens with “ their” river and the natural environment, valorise the areas along the river as well as the industrial and architectural heritage.
