Sídlisko

Sídlisko is a term used in Slovak (Czech: sídliště) which mainly means housing complex (with civic amenities).

[2][3] Sídliskos were built by the communist government of the former Czechoslovakia to provide fast and affordable housing for all people.

[2] During the Communist era, construction of large housing complexes was an important part of building plans in the country, as the government wanted to provide large quantities of affordable housing, as well as to slash costs by employing uniform designs over the whole country.

[citation needed] Sídliskos are usually located in urban areas, as direct parts of cities, usually considered as its own sections.

Sídliskos are owned and managed by the government, administrative divisions, housing cooperatives, authorities, self-governing (non-profit) organizations, owners of apartments (individual blocks), and/or through public–private partnerships and such, or a combination thereof.
