Urban development and landscape design guidelines as a basis for preparing the development plan of 'Plava potkova' in Zagreb

Abstract

Ideja urbanističkog uređenja sustava povezanih zelenih površina, poznat pod imenom Plava potkova, danas je prostorno nepostojana iako je bio ključan element u urbanističkom rješenju Novog Zagreba. Forma zelenog sustava je čitljiva, ali njegova neuređenost značajno umanjuje potencijal te identitet mjesta. Glavni cilj rada je prijedlog smjernica za uređenje Plave potkove s popratnim konceptualnim rješenjem urbanističkog uređenja. Detaljnim istraživanjem procesa urbanog razvoja stambene aglomeracije i planiranog zelenog sustava, opseg društveno-prostorne problematike utvrđen je značajnih razmjera te mu se nadalje pristupa na odgovarajući način. Nakon pregledavanja I analiziranja prostornih značajki Novog Zagreba i Plave potkove u zatečenom stanju, rezultirajuće smjernice i koncept uređenja uvode rješenja za novoutvrđene prostorne potencijale koji omogućuju zelenom sustavu da se proširi izvan obuhvata.The idea of an urban designed system comprised of connected green areas, known as ''Plava potkova'', nowadays is physically non-existent even though once being the key element in the urban development plan of Novi Zagreb. The form of the green system is visible, but its lack of designed spaces greatly diminishes the potential and the identity of a place. The main idea of the thesis is to propose guidelines for the design of ''Plava potkova'', following with a conceptual urban development plan. Through extensive research of the process of urban development of residential agglomeration and the planned green system, the scope of the socio-spatial problem is found to be of a large scale and afterwards addressed accordingly. After examining and analyzing spatial data of Novi Zagreb and ''Plava potkova'' in their current state, the resulting guidelines and concept design implements solutions to the newly ascertained spatial potentials which allow the green system to broaden its borders
