Abstract: The area called „Delta“ in the center of Rijeka, between the Rječina and the canal, has for a long time been the subjekt of development attempts based on several spatial plans that offer the construction of various fecilities on the Delta. Nothing that was planned was realized and Delta is still an unorganized area. Ante Marinović-Uzelac opposed the construction on the Delta by asserting that the construction of the Delta is a fallacy and a myth: „The Delta is the least buildable area in Rijeka.„ The identity of the city, the author reminds, is preserved not only in the built evironments but also in the topographical elements of its location, which represent the cradle of its creation and development, the Delta should, the author concludes, remain undeveloped and a landscaped area – a large central park, which is particularly scarce in Rijeka. Through the analysis of the existential space that determined the origin and development of the place, with the subsequent filling of the Delta, a plateau was created on which the realization of the central park would represent a reminiscence of the natural component of the original source of identity (greenery instead of water). With an open view of the remaining components: the Trsat slope, the Rječina, the Kvarner Bay. A number of world cities made similar decisions, consciously abandoning construction in areas with the land rent, leaving the space to urban nature.
