Progress Without Applause. On the Limits of Trust in the Model of Development in Three Croatian Cities

Sažetak
In this paper the authors analyse the models of development
in three Croatian cities (Rijeka, Sisak, Zagreb) comparing the
data gathered in three related polls conducted in the period
from 1996 to 2000 for the purpose of urban development
plans. The three cities, regardless of structural similarities
(economic framework dependent on the industrial sector;
important role of transport; considerable share of
immigrated population) differ in size, but also in status/role
in the Croatian network of cities. The data presented describe contemporary Croatian urbanisation with a lack of
desirable developmental effects. However, for most
examinees being-in-the-city is considered one of life's
achievements, even if the smallest, thus making the relation
between the centre and periphery in Croatian society,
according to these data as well, consistent with the division
to urban/unurban area. The examinees continue to assess
that multiple possibilities at their daily disposal in their cities
are not guaranteed in other cities. This finding confirms the
thesis of the new parochialism based on social capital
reinforced by interpersonal and communication networks. In
the conclusion the authors opt for modernisation based on a
polycentric network of settlements – as opposed to the
limited monopoly of the city. Such a change, they maintain,
could lean onto an epistemologically "rearranged" social
perception of modernisation that sees a network of
settlements in complementary dependencies and cooperation
in which it is possible (from reserve) to mobilise the social
capital of smaller settlements.
