CroatiaIn the historic district of Stari Grad (Old Town) in Zagreb, Croatia, preparations are underway for a major urban renewal project. Existing terraces and café areas have been removed to make way for pedestrian-friendly infrastructure. The project covers an area of 4,050 square meters, including the revitalization of Stari Grad and Jurja Branjug Street. The current road surface will be replaced with stone paving, and new drainage systems will be installed. Work is expected to begin by September, with completion anticipated within three months. The estimated cost of the investment is 3.4 million euros before VAT. According to Deputy Mayor Luka Korlaet, the project aims to enhance green spaces, add new lighting and equipment, and improve traffic safety while creating a more inviting space for residents and visitors.
