Compact city

My Masters project was studying the principles of what makes a sustainable city. I took an existing site in the centre of Skopje that currently is used as a parking to develop a small masterplan that will present my theories about a compact city. The cite connects one big shopping centre and the main city square and the railway station and the national bank on the other site, thus it serves as a transit area mainly. My design justifies the importance and the value of the site with making it a small business and residential centre while providing a pedestrian connection route to the two points with three small squares on the way. This way it has high density of people on the site while still having more than half of open public areas.
