| Abstract: | This study compares housing quality and residential satisfactionbetween socialist (old) and post-socialist (new) large housingestates (LHEs) in Croatia and Slovenia. A survey conducted in 2022included a total sample of 2,193 participants. Residential satisfac-tion was assessed based on general characteristics of the estate,including construction density, safety, green spaces, children’s play-grounds, transport connections with other parts of the city, andtraffic density. In general, residents were satisfied with their builtenvironment in housing estates, irrespective of country or estatetype. However, residents in both types of housing estates inSlovenia reported generally higher levels of satisfaction thanthose in Croatia. Additionally, despite their age, socialist-era LHEswere not rated worse overall than post-socialist housing estates.The basic urban principles of contemporary cities — sustainability,safety, inclusivity, greenness, and resilience — are more closelyaligned with the design and planning practices of old LHEs thanwith the market-oriented urbanism of the post-socialist period. As aresult, new housing estates in the two countries, particularly inCroatia, contribute less to everyday placemaking at the neighbour-hood level. However, this can be improved by aligning futuredevelopment more closely with contemporary urban principles. |
