On Tuesday, May 27 at 5:30 PM, Urania – Space of Creation will host a public forum titled City and Transport, focusing on the current issues and challenges of urban mobility in Zagreb. Through dialogue between experts from various disciplines, the event will explore the possibilities for transforming the capital's transport system into a more functional, just, and sustainable model.
With over 770,000 residents and a metropolitan area exceeding one million, Zagreb is experiencing increasing traffic congestion. With approximately 500 cars per 1,000 inhabitants, the city’s car density is comparable to that of developed European metropolises—but without the corresponding level of alternative transport infrastructure. The result: declining road safety, reduced quality of life, and rising CO₂ emissions.
Despite the existence of a tram network, buses, and fragmented cycling infrastructure, public transport is steadily losing out to private vehicles. The lack of system integration, absence of continuous bike lanes, limited suburban rail coverage, and low reliability and frequency of public transport services further complicate the picture.
The forum will explore concrete proposals—from prioritizing public transport with dedicated bus lanes and modernized trams, to developing real cycling corridors and implementing park-and-ride systems at the city’s outskirts. The conversation will also address the formalization of transit-oriented development to activate brownfield sites and create a new urban morphology along existing transport corridors.
The panel will feature relevant experts in transport, technology, and architecture:
The forum will be moderated by Una Vidović, Ph.D., director of Mobilita Evolva and one of the region’s most experienced experts in transport modeling, sustainable planning, and infrastructure strategies.
City and Transport is not just the topic of this forum—it is a matter of spatial planning, public health, energy transition, and the future of Zagreb.
