Industrial brownfields as modernist legacy in post-socialistic city - a qualitative analysis

摘要

The aim of this paper is to investigate the potential redevelopment perspectives of the former industrial sites. A qualitative analysis of the post-WWII industrial site in Ni?, Serbia, and its modernistic legacy was performed, related to the important issues of urban morphology. The qualities which are remaining behind the “rusty” industrial landscape were examined in view of the contemporary approach to the concept of the sustainable city. The research findings suggest the existence of need for interventions in the actual morphology of the examined urban space in order to fulfill the contemporary trends of placemaking.
