A major problem for Botevgrad
is
THE IMBALANCE CENTER-PERIPHERY.
The imbalance has grown over the years
due to the intensive maintenance and development of the city center on the one hand
and the chaotic development and regress of the periphery on the other.
The project for the transformation of the residential complex is a preventive measure providing
the integrity of the urban organism.
The local problems identified in the process of working together with neighborhood residents
and the recommendations for their resolution, are grouped into three main sections.
The first group is related to the structure of the neighborhood, the second to the public order
and the third - to the connectivity of the neighborhood to other parts of the city.
