Detailed Urban Plan of the Centre of Zagreb

Davorka Kovačević ; Zagreb

Abstract

Accepting contemporary process of urbanization and the position of a man in a city, the author of the article has tried to show the contemporary way of approaching the planned solutions of the special arrangement of Zagreb, especially its center.
The author’s basic thesis resides in an affirmation that a city, as a complex social reality, manifesting itself in space and time, and as such in the contemporary civilization, is suppose to make possible for a man the formation of harmonious community. That means, it must make possible the flexibility of all the city’s life functions at a certain area, in a way suitable to the urban way of living. Thence the necessity for the urbanists to take that into consideration in planning the spreading of the city, as well as they should relieve the present great concentration of functions in the center of the city. The author also critically regards an adequate interdisciplinary approach to those solutions, and she sees the way out in forming a few secondary centers in the Zagreb area.
In spite of the solutions presented in urban plans (General Urban Plan and Detailed Urban Plan) a lot of solutions have not been optimally placed in the function of a man and his living community, as well as a number of problems have not been touched yet.
