Moscow Boulevard – Vukovar Street in Zagreb, 1945-1956 Architecture and Urban Planning between East and West
Vedran Ivanković
Abstract
This paper presents the building history of Vukovar Street (first named Moscow Boulevard) in Zagreb. The concept of its development was framed within the first post-war vision of the city in the Urban Planning Institute of the Croatian Ministry of Building Construction headed by its director, the architect Vladimir Antolić. The paper points to a change of the course in Croatian architecture after 1956 brought about by various events with political connotations which were also manifested in the urban planning guidelines for the development of Zagreb across the Sava river. The layout of Vukovar Street directly reflects these changes.
