| Summary | This is a thesis about the “Right to the City” movement in Zagreb. It narrates its inception, the context which nurtured it and the activists that helped it grew. The immediate resaon d'etre of the movement was a specific project of urban renewal in Zagreb known as Flower Passage (Cvjetni prolaz), later Flower (Cvjetni). The project provoked an unseen amount of social action and mobilization of citizens of Zagreb. The movement against it under the banner of Right to the City was started by a coalition of NGOs and citizens initiatives with contribution of many public figures, experts and intellectuals. In 2010, at its height, the movement included a couple of thousands of citizens of Zagreb. The actors of the movement contested the notion of public space and public interest of the project that was put forward by the entrepreneur and the city government, and claimed that asserted the citizens can give such claim. |
