Preliminary communication
A Discussion on Town Planning for Zagreb in the 21st Century
Velimir Neidhardt
Abstract
The article views the city as the brain tissue of the environment and opposes its qualities to the critiques of urban concentration. The city remains the cradle of future civilisation. In the interaction of culture and export economy the only equation of prosperity is at present the inevitability of growth. The process of four-leaf metropolisation covering Rijeka, Split, Osijek and Zagreb is favourable for Croatia as a whole, whereas the further preference of Zagreb will show itself unfavourable. Zagreb has exhausted its existing urban system and demands major investment into the infrastructure, combined with new visions and plans for the 21st century. Some of these endeavours can be started at once.
