Railway Corridors within Croatian Cities: Obstacles or Opportunities?

At the time of construction, the railways were located on the outskirts of the Croatian cities or away from the city limits. Cities grew, in their expansion “skipped” the railway, and the railway became a spatial and physical barrier to the connection of the city, railway corridors became intra-city traffic corridors. Consequently, the railway has generated and is generating multiple problems in the functioning of the city and the quality of life of its citizens. The basic problems in railway corridors in Croatia are spatial, traffic, environmental, technological, proprietary, financial, management, safety, and maintenance issues. The article typifies conflict spaces within railway corridors into points (individual locations), linear (along the railway line), or territorial spaces (surfaces for different purposes). The article identifies the basic problems in the railway corridors and gives a comparative analysis of the possibility of turning problems related to railway corridors into opportunities for urban development.
