Zagreb Masterplan
Zagreb Masterplan An ecological model of sustainable modernisation The Sava river is one of the last clean and living rivers remaining in Europe, supporting globally significant biodiversity along its course. Threatened by dredging, planned hydropower dams, and increasing nutrient pollution, the masterplan offers a roadmap to save the Sava while preparing Zagreb for the challenges of the coming century. In light of the ongoing climate and biodiversity emergencies, wild rivers working together with the urban hardscape can provide a model for resilient and sustainable nature-to-city ecosystems. The vision at the core of the masterplan is of a wild river in the city — a catalyst for an ecological model of sustainable modernisation for Zagreb and other cities on peripheries. © 2020 Mark Kendernay, Luca Pizzamiglio, Andrea Popescu, Sirage Saudi Ibreek, Maria Villalobos Contact for more information.
