Zagreb Masterplan Part 2 Project 2020 Maria VillalobosLuca PizzamiglioMark KendernayAndrea PopescuSirage Saudi Ibreek University of Bath | UK The Sava river is one of the last clean and living rivers remaining in Europe, supporting globally significant biodiversity along its course. Zagreb, marking a cutting point in this continuous ecosystem, has urbanised the river’s floodplain in the past 150 years and effectively erased its network of wetlands. Threatened by dredging, planned hydropower dams, and increasing nutrient pollution, the masterplan offers a roadmap to save the Sava, while preparing the capital for the challenges of the coming century. The toolkit developed for the masterplan focuses on three key issues: strengthening the city’s green and blue infrastructure, encouraging the use of public and soft transport, and enabling its fossil fuel phase- out with a holistic renewable resource strategy. These principles are integrated into a pedestrian boulevard bridging the void between the historic centre of Zagreb and the modernist satellite town of Novi Zagreb. Along its way, the masterplan proposes the regeneration of two disregarded brownfields, transforming the central railway site as a gateway to the capital and rehabilitating the Sava’s river realm as the city’s functional green lungs.
