Abstract
The economic changes of the beginning of the 21st century greatly influenced urban planning and
lifestyle, resulting in the creation of an abandoned industrial heritage, while the expansive growth of
cities caused their inappropriate location in the center of cities. As a response to such spatial problems,
there are tendencies to consider the role of the post-industrial landscape in city planning, industrial
heritage as a resource and an integral part of collective and historical identity. Therefore the work
provides an insight into the historical aspect, development, significance and current trends in the world
and in Croatia regarding validation of industrial landscapes. Using the example of the City
Slaughterhouse and Cattle Market in Zagreb, the work tries to point out the importance and potential
of such areas, which through revitalization can influence the urban regeneration of a neighborhood or
city. On the basis of research and comparative analysis of relevant examples, as well as a field visit
and inventory of the location in question, the revitalization of the City Slaughterhouse and Livestock
Market in Zagreb is proposed, and it is concluded that by repurposing the complex, it is possible to
create a new gravitational point of the city with a recognizable identity with a significant positive
impact on the environmental condition of the location. The case in question tries to present a model of
revitalization where special emphasis is placed on landscape values and values of open space as a
cultural, social and ecological phenomenon.
