The urban development of Sofia is very directly related to public transport and in particular to the metro. A similar opinion was shared by the manager of "Ivo Petrov Architects" arch. Tsvetan Petrov for the show "ImoTiTe" hosted by Hristo Nikolov.
The concentration of construction in South Sofia is due to the subway. With its development, the city and the desires of the people who live in it change.
The draft ordinance on the urban environment in Sofia was recently presented, which is great news according to the architect. He is of the opinion that something like this should have happened more than 20 years ago.
Sofia must follow the example of cities like Vienna and replace the current paving stones with granite, because repairs will not be done every 15 years, but every 20-30, or even 50 years. In the short term it sounds expensive, but the vision of the city will improve significantly for a much longer period of time
The opinion of the society in our country is that a "skyscraper" is a building over 50 meters high, but from an architectural point of view these are more buildings over 100 meters, according to arch. Petrov. He is of the opinion that the capital does not need such construction, but also made a curious statement about the transport provision of high-rise construction.
