The main part of the campaign ended in Spring 2011 when the shopping centre and car park opened. Although we didn't win that battle, both the shopping centre and the car park were smaller than they were originally planned to be, partly thanks to our activities. But as a result of the campaign the city assembly asked for changes to the General Urban Plan of the city to make sure that such a project would never happen again (this was important as several similar projects were planned in the city centre). This has taken ages to actually happen and as yesterday was the last sitting of the City Assembly before the local elections there was a real danger that it would not happen at all. But luckily it did :) All the best, Pippa -- ========================== Pippa Gallop Research Co-ordinator CEE Bankwatch Network http://www.bankwatch.org Skype: pippa.gallop c/o Zelena akcija Frankopanska 1 pp.952 10 000 Zagreb Hrvatska/Croatia ---------------------------- -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "World Carfree Network" group.
