Maribor Slovenia - 5 points towards differential urbanism

Focus on Green Space and Waterways
At present Maribor’s urban waterfront is underdeveloped, this plan seeks to transform river adjacent land uses, which are now largely industrial and infrastructure, into community amenities.
Conserve Land
The plan seeks to direct growth in to compact and contiguous areas in order to prevent unmanaged sprawl.
Maximize Existing Infrastructure
The use of existing infrastructure can serve as a framework to support future development.
Figures in the Urban Context
There is nothing more persuasive in the dynamics of cities than geometry.
Increase Connectivity
Presently Maribor is fragmented with areas produced in different time periods disconnected from one another. The plan seeks to improve mobility.and urban form by increasing street connections.
Improve Non-motorized Transportation
This plan envisions a city in which pedestrian and bicycle transportation can predominate.
