Capital city Podgorica has launched an international competition to obtain the best conceptual urban and architectural design for the Morača riverbed and banks. Designs should aim to establish a new connection between the city and the river in the best possible way and to provide a new unique space for leisure and recreation for the benefit of inhabitants and visitors of Podgorica.
Participants in the Competition are expected to offer a design solution that will lay the foundations for a new, more interactive relationship between the city and the river while respecting both the built structures and the specific morphological features of the site. In addition to achieving high urban values and attractive design, it is necessary to provide access to the river for a wide variety of user groups. In order to actively use the space and promote social connectedness, the project area should be enriched with new adequate content, which will encourage inhabitants and visitors of Podgorica to enjoy more time by the river.
The solution should presuppose a sense of comfort and safety, as well as be in line with the principles of sustainability, during construction as well as during utilisation.
