Summary/Abstract: This article examines the influence of modernist architecture on the formation of urban identity in two post-Yugoslav cities: Ljubljana and Sarajevo. A comparative analysis explores the contributions of key architects to shaping the urban fabric and identity of each city during the twentieth century, considering their shared socialist past and divergent sociocultural trajectories after the 1990s. The legacy of modernism is considered in light of sustainability, resilience, and the fluctuating notion of cultural identity. Special focus is placed on the works of Jože Plečnik and Edvard Ravnikar in Ljubljana, and Dušan Grabrijan and Juraj Neidhardt in Sarajevo.
