First Steps in Urban Planning of Bulgarian Cities with Participation of Czech Architects and Engineers at the Turn of 19th and 20th Centuries

Original language description

This article focuses on tracing of the urban planning beginnings and first organized planning activities of Bulgarian cities at the turn of 19th and 20th centuries in which many Czech engineers and architects also participated significantly. A common feature of all Bulgarian cities was irregular structure and build-up area. The main task of the Czech engineers was the coping with this situation and designing the modern city. In general the original structure did not make planning easy and unambiguously. The planning of the cities destroyed in the Russian-Turkish war in 1877-78 was easier. A possibility of freely applying of a new city structure existed in Stara Zagora and partially in Nova Zagora. A usual principle was straightening of the streets where the engineers used original street network and according to them new modern streets were built, e.g. the centre of Kystendil and the old part of Nova Zagora. These principles were used also in some central parts of Sofia and Plovdiv. The city of Sofia is itself a distinctive example. Although the original structure was preserved during the war and in the first steps was applied principle of straightening of the streets in the centre, the rest parts of Sofia were designed with a new structure and the old city disappeared. Plovdiv is in contrary to Sofia and its original structure was preserved as an old city and the new one was joined to it in neighbourhoods.
