Renewal and Reuse of Urban and Architectural Tobacco Industry Complexes in Croatia – Case Studies of Rijeka, Imotski and Metković

At the turn of the 19th century, numerous facilities and factories for tobacco purchasing, processing, and manufacturing were built in Croatia. Due to the reduction of the tobacco industry, these complexes were left abandoned. In recent years the rehabilitation of some of them has been realised, although most of them are left to decay. In this paper, three Croatian case studies of renewal and reuse of tobacco buildings and complexes are analysed with the aim of affirming the use of former industrial complexes for new purposes.
