By preparing materials for the exibition for Brezovica District about Spatial Identity Exhibition, the City of Zagreb turns attention not only to its urban but also to less recognizable rural areas. By organizing the exhibition we wanted to point out the problem of multitude and diversity of spatial identity. The spatial identity of suburban and rural settlements for Brezovica District certainly contributes to the preservation and improvement of the well-being of the suburban and rural areas of the City of Zagreb as part of the European rural heritage. In the world of globalization, the spatial identity of rural settlements, especially those around big cities, is a neglected part of heritage because it is not sufficiently recognized and used as a resource for sustainable development.
