During urban redevelopment, it is not always completely clear which spaces and groups are the most valuable social and cultural amenities that support creativity and improve the general quality of life in the city. This article uses case studies from Slovenia and Japan to analyze why some spaces are perceived as socially and culturally important whereas others are defined as obsolete and dispensable.

Med procesom urbane prenove ni vedno popolnoma jasno, kateri prostori in skupine predstavljajo najdragocenejše družbene in kulturne dobrine, ki podpirajo ustvarjalnost in nadgrajujejo splošno kakovost življenja v mestu. Študiji primerov iz Slovenije in Japonske sta podlaga za analizo, zakaj so nekateri prostori dojeti kot družbeno in kulturno pomembni, drugi pa so opredeljeni kot zastareli in nepotrebni.
