Overall Layout of Socialist and Post-socialist Large Housing Estates in Croatia

Anđelina Svirčić Gotovac, PhD, Sara Ursić, PhD and Jana Vukić, PhD are the authors of the chapter “Overall Layout of Socialist and Post-socialist Large Housing Estates in Croatia“ published in the book “REAL CORP 2023: Let it Grow, Let us Plan, Let it Grow: Nature-based Solutions for Sustainable Resilient Smart Green and Blue Cities“. The book encompasses the papers presented at the conference “REAL CORP 2023: 28th International Conference on Urban Planning, Regional Development and Information Society“, held at the Faculty of Architecture of the University of Ljubljana.

The study compares the overall layout of socialist (old) and post-socialist (new) large housing estates (LHEs) in Croatian large cities, which depends on the daily basis equipment and public infrastructure. The authors explore the attitudes of experts on how socialist and post- socialist LHEs in four major Croatian cities (Osijek, Rijeka, Split, and Zagreb) meet residents’ daily, primary level needs. The qualitative study, based on which the results were obtained, was carried out in 2022 within the Croatian-Slovenian bilateral project “Quality of living in the Housing Estates of the socialist and post-socialist era: a comparative analysis between Slovenia and Croatia“, which is financed by the Croatian Science Foundation.
