Title
Planning and/or project approach to organising public city space: Several examples of squares in Croatia
Abstract
Faced with problems regarding the organisation of public city areas, the authors of this text undertook practical, concrete exercises on typologically differing squares. The projects had reached different levels of treatment, from competition proposals to construction and control of execution. Based on practical experience they recapitulated their practical experience and by determining the basic elements of these projects selectively determined the level of their influence on final decisions. Seven proposals for design of squares – public open spaces are presented.
Key Words
Croatia, public open space, urban design, urban square
