The city of Zagreb has completed the greening of 14 urban courtyards under a project funded by the municipal budget, with 17 more planned and a total of 236 locations on the list. The initiative aims to reduce heat island effects, increase biodiversity, and create shared spaces for residents. While the mayor emphasized that these green areas would generally be accessible to the public, some residents expressed concerns about privacy and security. In particular, some courtyard owners reported issues such as theft of bicycles and damage to plants, leading them to lock their courtyards despite the project’s goal of public access. One resident noted that while they appreciated the improvements, they felt the need to protect their private space.

It does not favor one side over the other but rather reports the differing viewpoints and outcomes of the project. There is no use
