Overview

The first episode entitled "Zagreb Fair, the City Center That Was Not Meant to Be" explores the Zagreb Fair, an important part of the urban identity of Zagreb and the focal point for presentation of technological advancements and contemporary modes of life, which would only party integrate into the everyday life of the citizens of Zagreb, Croatia and Yugoslavia. The building of the Fair was the first big construction on the south bank of Sava river, a visionary project of creating the big new center for New Zagreb. The vision was never fully realized, and Zagreb Fair, a protected cultural property – with its 560.000 square meters, 40 pavilions, 12 kilometers of asphalt roads and its own water pump station – is barely holding on: not yet an abandoned industrial area but not adequately used either.
