Šalata je primjer četvrti obiteljskih kuća koju karakterizira tranzicija iz 19-stoljetnearhitektonske tradicije i one s prijelaza stoljeća u modernizam 1930-ih. Četiri ključne parcelacije oko 1927. transformirale su strmi ruralni prostor u susjedstvu dominantnih klinika Medicinskog fakulteta, u četvrt građanskog stanovanja s čimbenicima kvalitete postignutih regulacijom i planiranjem infrastrukture, prometa i zelenila nadomak središta grada. Šalata in Zagreb is an example of a family-house neighborhood marked by the transitionfrom the 19th-century architectural tradition to the turn-of-the-century modernism ofthe 1930s. Around 1927, four important subdivisions changed a hilly rural terrain near the prominent clinics of the Faculty of Medicine into a district of civic housing with quality factors accomplished via control and design of infrastructure, transportation, and vegetation close to the city center.
