Zenica industrial transition and redevelopment
Overview
The city of Zenica is exploring strategies for urban reindustrialization and the repurposing of its industrial landscape. An international conference titled ‘The Anti-City Guide: Reindustrialization of Zenica and Preservation of Industrial Heritage’ examined how the city might navigate its transition by preserving historical identity while fostering sustainable development. The event drew comparisons to the Dutch city of Heerlen, discussing how abandoned infrastructure can be repurposed for modern needs.
Building on these themes of transformation, plans have emerged to convert the former Zenica Steelworks site into a digital-innovation complex. This proposed project aims to host a data center, a supercomputer, and infrastructure for artificial intelligence development. The Government of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina has funded a feasibility study by Arthur D. Little to assess the technical, energy, and financial requirements for the complex, which could eventually reach a capacity of up to 100 megawatts.
