Abstract

Zabłocie is one of the most dynamically developing districts of Kraków. The aim of this article is to present the role of the Innovation Cluster in the revitalization of Zabłocie. The article discusses the historical background of the Zabłocie district and examines how the Innovation Cluster can influence its revitalization process. The article also analyzes the possible challenges associated with the implementation of the Innovation Cluster. Key issues include the adaptation of old industrial buildings to new functions, the need for infrastructure investment, and the risk posed by insufficient cooperation between the public and private sectors. In the context of the implementation of the Zabłocie cluster, investment management has played an important role. By integrating BIM technology with a cloud-based collaboration environment, decision-making processes were streamlined at every stage of construction. The cluster has the potential to become a catalyst for the transformation of Zabłocie. It serves as an example of sustainable development, where technological innovation, creative industries, and social responsibility align with infrastructure improvement and enhancing the quality of life in the urban environment.
