Sažetak
One of the most specific urban qualities of Zagreb is the closeness of historical urban centre of Upper & Lower Town to the foothills of Medvednica Mountain. Focusing north-west area of the town, the block structure of Lower Town is divided by long vibrant street of Ilica from northern Medvednica foothills with family houses. Main traffic communication is, according to the topography, positioned north–south, along the slopes or valleys. However, the adequate, pedestrian communication along and between them is missing. The existing situation of this high- quality residential and area could be upgraded with longitudinal and cross- communication grid, cultivation of existing wood structure and interpolation of pavilions, playgrounds etc. By minimal intervention this high quality ambient, connecting historical centre, i.e. dense urban structure with Park of Nature Medvednica north from Zagreb, could be transformed into the greatest recreation area of Zagreb.
