Concrete Jungle by the Sea: Croatia's Controversial Beach Renovation
Split's Concrete Beach: A Disappointment Amidst Beauty Split, Croatia, recently unveiled a renovated beach, but the project has sparked controversy. Instead of a natural, inviting space, the beach is largely concrete, a stark contrast to the picturesque village setting. The video, uploaded by 'namesis20', highlights this jarring juxtaposition. "Croatia, what is this??!! They opened a new renovated beach in the beautiful village of Split to the public. But look at this!!! Only concrete and concrete. Never again here! Never!" the video's text overlay states, expressing widespread disappointment. The video's visuals clearly show the expanse of concrete, devoid of natural elements. This raises questions about the planning and priorities of the project. While the village itself is undeniably beautiful, the beach's design detracts from the overall experience. The contrast between the intended public amenity and its actual execution is striking. This incident offers a cautionary tale about urban planning projects that prioritize aesthetics over functionality and environmental considerations. Local residents are calling for a reconsideration of the design, hoping for a more natural and welcoming beach in the future.
