The Kaptol area is a part of the city core as well as an element of the historical urban area of the City of Zagreb, the most complex space considering cultural, historical, spiritual, social and legal aspects. This is a space used for a variety of purposes and events, with a particularly intensive and aggressive traffic of all kinds. Such concentration of uses and functions has resulted in degradation of Kaptol and hindered its appropriate presentation as a monument. Therefore, according to the Master Plan requirements, the Competition Program has been developed as a background document for the development of planning documentation of a comprehensive and complex revitalization of this particularly valuable space. The competition is primarily aimed at urban requalification of the Kaptol area through its historical identity, contents and traffic elements.

COMPETITION PROCEDURE

The competition is open to all individual and corporate entities satisfying the professional conditions stated in the announcement to participate in the capacity of authors. It will be deemed that professional requirements have been met if competitors are allowed to use the title of architect, urban planner or landscape architect.
