The Kaptol area is a part of the city core as well as an element of the historical urban area of the City of Zagreb, the most complex space considering cultural, historical, spiritual, social and legal aspects. This is a space used for a variety of purposes and events, with a particularly intensive and aggressive traffic of all kinds. Such concentration of uses and functions has resulted in degradation of Kaptol and hindered its appropriate presentation as a monument. Therefore, according to the Master Plan requirements, the Competition Program has been developed as a background document for the development of planning documentation of a comprehensive and complex revitalization of this particularly valuable space.
The aim and purpose of the competition is to obtain the best conceptual urban design and architectural solution for Kaptol which shall serve as a valid professional basis for the preparation of urban planning documentation for integral development of the said zone.
Eligibility
The competition is open to all Croatian and international architects, landscape architects, planners, urban designers, artists and professional planning firms.

- Urban requalification of the Kaptol area through its history, identity, contents and traffic elements.
