Sažetak
Out of the present 65 squares in Zagreb that were included in the comparative urbanistic research, this report presents a dozen squares built between 1918 and 1941 on the matrix of modernist city regulations. Along with the five large squares that are significant and typical of the city, created in the new area east of Draškovićeva Street (their current names are: Trg hrvatskih velikana, Trg žrtava fašizma, Krešimirov trg, Kvaternikov trg and Kennedyev trg), the report also analyzes squares that were built in the planned residential districts on the city’s peripheral area at the time (Botićev trg and Dubravkin trg in Kanal, Moslavački trg in the district of Volovčica, Kažotićev trg and Zoričićev trg in Željezničarska kolonija, as well as small, nameless squares in Naselje Istrana i invalida and on Selska Street in the district of Trešnjevka, etc.). All the squares were processes using the uniform analytical template that included the following: square’s position in the city’s tissue, its historical development, zoning regulations, changes in name, layout and size, functional characteristics, traffic scheme, square design and urban equipment, garden elements and plant, construction characteristics (physical typology of the buildings, height of square forming buildings, location on the lot) and architectural landmarks. Individual catalogue elaboration comes with comparative table and analytical map presentations, as well as original archive documentation. Along with these built squares, we will also mention several squares that were planned during the 1920s and 1930s but were never built, and whose space was erased with later modifications. The report will also show significant zoning interventions of the period between the wars on existing historical squares in the Upper and Lower Town that underwent architecturally relevant redesigns.
