Nivy (literally: Floodplains) is a neighborhood of the Ružinov borough of Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia, located in the Bratislava II district. At the end of the 19th century, the area underwent massive industrialization becoming the first industrial part of Bratislava. In the 1950s to 1970s, the area was redeveloped into a residential suburb. At the end of the 20th century large-scale construction of office buildings started again to change the character of the neighborhood and in the 21st century, Nivy became the location of the emerging new city centre of Bratislava. It is an important transport hub featuring the Nivy Station.
One of the key issues of urban development in Bratislava lies in the redevelopment of brownfield sites adjoining the old city centre which are located in the Nivy neighborhood.

History


The central area of Nivy around today's Dulovo Square was historically undeveloped and it served mainly for growing fruits and vegetables by wealthy farmers for sale at Bratislava's markets. At the end of the 19th century, the Thread factory (Slovak: Cvernovka) was built on Páričkova Street.
