Sažetak
Urban regeneration and revitalization of brownfield sites and urban areas is the result of functional urban transformations and an approach to creating new methods for spatial change. This paper presents various models of urban transformations with a particular focus on ownership and the functional use of buildings and urban areas ; strategic planning mechanisms for shaping and transforming brownfield areas ; the role of citizens’ participation and engagement in the decision- making processes ; potential funding models and the value of public/private partnerships. First, the paper presents key theories and practice–based examples of brownfield regeneration and revitalizations schemes, using cases from London and Zagreb that have been implemented or are waiting to be realized. Discussions are also framed by a critical analysis of the two planning systems that underpin these interventions. Special attention is given to the role of ‘urban projects’ as potential models for functional and structural revitalization of brownfield areas. Such projects, it is argued, are of a special interest to cities today where the ‘city’ participates in the co-creation and realization of such projects through the land or building ownership or as a public infrastructure investor with the overall purpose to improve the quality of life of its citizens. The analysis also discusses the value of the area regeneration models and presents examples from London and Zagreb as contrasting socio-political and planning systems.
