neoliberal Urbanism, counteraction plan

We have many bridges to cross
first thing first: Croatia is under new order since k.u.k.
 almost 100 years of persistent shock therapies in Zagreb leaves but tons of fragments of new brave worlds insted of exodus at the rate of 80000 youngsters per decade revive

Short Urban Action Plan for Zagreb:
1. Protect local peculiarities: woodland and public parks (to be) i.e. Z2 and Z1 to make them common
2. invest in local infrastructire / superstructure owned by the city itself
3. hoist education level of general public
4. reestablish, invigorate communication culture of public and semipublic spaces
 5. maintain elementary uses of once genuine public space i.e  sidewalks are for walking
 6. protect complexities of urban heritage

7. help yourself byhelping -  protecting endangered people

and  do it all   just in time     
JIT and  all year long

P.S. 
 chief dangers: Unfetter urbanism driven by shock, greed, speed
 that leads to over-investment  

nostrum: shrink the city and appetite to  lebenswerte stadt
