The focus is on understanding the proper ways in which degraded zone and dilapidated buildings ought to be revitalized, but also the benefits of revitalizing city cores. It is a multifaceted discourse, thus, the research focuses on industrial heritage and brownfield development in the context of Sarajevo’s City Planning Strategy, as well as, the concept of ruins. The analyses culminate in project offering a new urbanism proposal for the degraded zones in Marijin Dvor, with a focus on the adaptive reuse of the former electrical power plant complex with a new cultural program.
