Botinec is a neighborhood located in Novi Zagreb - zapad city district of Zagreb, Croatia.
It is famous for having its streets named after famous characters from Croatian theater plays and novels. It was founded in 1965 as a refugee camp after the 1964 flood, owing its rectangular street grid to the era of building Novi Zagreb (called Južni Zagreb - Southern Zagreb at the time).[2] It was away from the city and away from Sava River, with barracks meant to serve as a camp only for up to six years, but the houses were eventually bought by the tenants and upgraded. Nonetheless, Botinec remains a neighborhood bearing the scar of the flood.[3] Botinec is divided in two parts: Old Botinec and New Botinec.
According to the 2021 census, its population was only 4.
According to the 2001 census, Botinec had 4,906 inhabitants.[4]
