New housing estates in Sesvete

Abstract

Suvremenim tokovima urbanizacije dolazi do razmještaja urbanih sadržaja iz središta grada na njegov rub i okolicu. Navedenim procesom zahvaćeno je i naselje Sesvete, čija se prostorna struktura uvelike izmijenila posljednjih desetljeća, osobito pod utjecajem decentralizacije funkcije stanovanja. Tako se početkom 21. stoljeća u Sesvetama grade 2 nova stambena naselja: Novi Jelkovec i Iver koji su ujedno i temeljni predmet ovoga rada. Svojom morfologijom i funkcijama diferenciraju se od okolnih dijelova naselja i izdvajaju kao zasebne cjeline. U radu je prikazan kratak pregled dosadašnjeg razvoja Sesveta, kao i pregled suvremenih procesa u stanogradnji, a zatim je provedena opsežnija analiza urbano-geografskih karakteristika Novog Jelkovca i Ivera.Contemporary trends in urbanisation lead to shifting of urban amenities from center of the city to his borders and surrounding. Settlement Sesvete, whose spatial structure has rapidly changed during last few decades, is affected by the named process and especially influenced by decentralization of housing function. At the beginning of 21st century, two new housing estates, which are the subject of this paper, are being built in Sesvete: Novi Jelkovec and Iver. They differ from other parts of the settlement by morphology and functions, and for that reason, stand out as independent units. This paper will show brief overview of the urban development of Sesvete as well as modern processes in housing construction. They are an introduction which leads to extensive analysis of urban-geographic characteristics of new housing estates
