Cityscape
Novi Zagreb was built after the Second World War and is a district characterized by multi - storey apartment buildings with real socialist architecture from the 2nd half of the 20th century with prefabricated blocks of flats . There are also single-family house settlements (Pobrežje, Savski Gaj, Trokut) in the vicinity of the railroad, which emerged mainly after the Croatian War.

In the 1990s, several new office towers and the Avenue Mall shopping center were built .

The residential areas are accessed through several main roads and subordinate residential streets. The Avenija Dubrovnik runs as a central multi-lane axis from west to east.

The (Avenija) Savezne Republike Njemačke , which is named after the Federal Republic of Germany, which Croatia was the first to recognize, serves as the main north-south axis and connection to the Autobahn 3 and the airport .
