Banjalučki gradski park - multifunkcionalni prostor gradskog identiteta
Banjaluka City Park – A Multifunctional Space Of City Identity

Summary/Abstract: This article is focused on transformation of the central Banjaluka park realized in 2005 and 2006 in the attempt to answer whether the architectural-urbanistic change made was a completely new or somehow leaning on the ones from the Vrbas banovina times and post WWII reconstructions. The article also tends to define novelties that new change incorporated in the city historic, architectural and urbanistic heritage. The analysis leads to conclusion that the reconstructed central Banjaluka City Park “Petar Ko- ~i}” partly leans on some past solutions, but also establishes new standards of architectonic shaping and urbanistic planning of a new multifunctional space. So, this urbanistic endeavour turned the traditional park into a new integrated ambience with a new structural role belonging to everyday life, and not to leisure and entertainment only. Park system is established as a dominant point of the city urban organism, its cultural development, that way making it an indispesable element of a new city identity.
