Abstract
The paper analyzes the concept of resilience in the context of the Cvjetno housing estate in Zagreb, Croatia, a recognized cultural and historical complex. While extensive literature exists on the estate’s architectural and historical significance, limited research explores its resilience. This study aims to fill this gap by examining the Cvjetno estate’s planned resilience to natural hazards and socioeconomic challenges. It investigates the estate’s design, historical context, and physical characteristics through archival documents, historical records, and field research. The analysis focuses on the estate’s planned resilience to natural disasters, particularly flooding from the nearby river Sava and seismic risks due to its location in a seismically active area. Based on the literature on resilient communities, the study draws on dimensions, characteristics, and qualities of resilience, and explores how the Cvjetno estate exemplifies these traits. Future research could explore and compare similar mid-20th century European settlements to enhance the understanding of urban resilience during the modern era.
