Moscow Boulevard – Vukovar Street in Zagreb, 1945-1956 Architecture and Urban Planning between East and West

Autor u članku donosi genealogiju izgradnje Ulice grada Vukovara u Zagrebu koja je idejno zacrtana kao Moskovski boulevard u prvoj poslijeratnoj viziji grada Urbanističkog instituta Ministarstva građevina Narodne Republike Hrvatske i njegova ravnatelja arhitekta Vladimira Antolića. U članku se ukazuje na promjenu smjera hrvatske arhitekture nakon 1956. godine i na događaje koji su je uzrokovali i koji su u urbanističkim smjernicama razvoja Zagreba odlukama o izgradnji prekosavskih područja označeni i političkom voljom. Promjena smjera ogleda se u oblikovnim konstelacijama upravo u izgradnji Ulice grada Vukovara.This paper presents the building history of Vukovar Street (first named Moscow Boulevard) in Zagreb. The concept of its development was framed within the first post-war vision of the city in the Urban Planning Institute of the Croatian Ministry of Building Construction headed by its director, the architect Vladimir Antolić. The paper points to a change of the course in Croatian architecture after 1956 brought about by various events with political connotations which were also manifested in the urban planning guidelines for the development of Zagreb across the Sava river. The layout of Vukovar Street directly reflects these changes
