Sažetak
The organization of a mega-event can serve as a means of realizing the strategy of urban politics, enabling in a short time realisation of numerous interventions, directly or indirectly related to the event. These realized interventions in the city and its region can become permanent heritage, thus improving the long-term quality of life of their inhabitants. The aim of this paper is to show how large sports events contribute to the development of the host city and region, putting the emphasis on the 14th Summer Universiade held in Zagreb in 1987 and the realization of urban politics strategy of that period. Through its history, Zagreb hosted several significant large sports events, the most significant of which was the Summer Universiade held in 1987. Therefore, this paper explores the interventions realized in the preparatory period of event that contributed to the overall quality of life and which were strategic for Zagreb's urban development in the 1980s. In addition of being a significant sports event, the 14th Summer Universiade was also a major cultural event that served as an instrument for the realization of numerous projects for the construction of new and improvement of existing sports buildings and complexes, accommodation capacities, and urban renewal of the city centre. Since most of the interventions would not have been realized in such a short period of time, we can say that the Universiade was a means of realizing urban development politics and renewal of Zagreb.
