Brownfield redevelopment – urban challenge for a post-socialist city: example of Zagreb

The uncontrolled urban development that many post-socialist cities are facing raise demand more responsible and sustainable management of the city. The abandonment of prior functions in Zagreb leads to appearance of vacant sites. Among them are brownfield locations – former industry and military locations. These areas become ‘arenas of opportunities’ as scenes for new housing projects, business functions, commercial and cultural use. Furthermore such areas may become new public areas or new green areas of the city and contribute to rising of the overall quality of life. Some of them are currently under the process of redevelopment and are becoming a significant urban challenge.
