Abstract
In the post-socialist and transition period, Croatia and especially its capital city Zagreb have experienced many physical transformations of space but, most of all, remarkable social changes. For example, socially-oriented housing construction planned and co-financed by towns in Croatia is in a very unfavourable position compared to private housing construction, especially on the outskirts of towns. This benefits neither towns nor their residents, but rather only those urban actors interested in the development of capitalism. In recent years, there has been a lot of building in the city core and on the outskirts of Zagreb, which is not well integrated into the existing urban structure, image or skyline of the city. There is also a major problem of insufficient primary and secondary infrastructure in the new housing estates. The current situation in the planning process is characterized by conflict and lack of balance between powerful political and economic actors and less powerful professional and civil actors. Experts of various profiles often point out that ignoring the process of planning means irreparable long-term damage to the space. Such incongruous transformations show the absence of comprehensive urban planning and urbanism. (IN CROATIAN: Cjelokupni je prostor Hrvatske u postsocijalističkom i tranzicijskom razdoblju doživio brojne i značajne promjene, i u smislu fizičkih transformacija, ali ponajviše onih socijalnih. Primjerice socijalna stanogradnja koju planiraju i sufinanciraju gradovi u Hrvatskoj u vrlo je nepovoljnom položaju prema stanogradnji privatnog tipa, pogotovo na rubovima gradova. Takva situacija nije povoljna za građane i grad, već samo za one urbane aktere koji podržavaju kapitalistički razvoj grada. Posljednjih godina pojavljuje se izgradnja u centru i na rubovima grada koja se ne uklapa u postojeću urbanu strukturu i njegovu vizuru. Prisutan je i problem neadekvatne primarne i sekundarne infrastrukture u novim naseljima. Trenutačnu situaciju u procesu planiranja karakteriziraju sukobi i neravnoteža između političkih i ekonomskih aktera na jednoj strani te stručnih i civilnih aktera na drugoj. Stručnjaci različitih profila upozoravaju kako ignoriranje procesa planiranja dugoročno ostavlja nepopravljivu štetu u prostoru te kako takve transformacije grada govore o nepostojanju urbanizma.)
