Zlín (pronunciation: [zliːn]; German: Zlin) is a statutory city (74,191 inhabitants end 2022) in the Czech Republic. It is the seat of the Zlín Region and it lies on the Dřevnice river. It is known as an industrial centre. The development of the modern city is closely connected to the Bata Shoes company and its social scheme, developed after World War I. A large part of Zlín is urbanistically and architecturally valuable and is protected by law as an urban monument zone. In the period 1949-89, during the communist regime, Zlín was renamed Gottwaldov – after the first communist president of Czechoslovakia – Klement Gottwald.
