KOPER CENTRAL PARK
In line with the prognosis that the
sea by the promenade is to grow
increasingly cleaner, it is feasible that
a new city beach may appear along
the promenade. Successful similar
examples show that a city beach is not
only an area where people take a dip
in the sea but that city beaches can
become the most important free-time
socialising space. Since the densely
developed old town core does not
allow for a sufficient number of large
open spaces and constrains their size,
and since we need to understand that
convivial bustle, concerts, and late-
night events disturb the residents in
the immediate vicinity, the placement
of such programme in the area under
consideration is all the more suitable.
