ZIP – Zone of Innovation Pula
Vallelunga, Pula / 2024. / Alen Žunić / Petra Vlahek
About project
At the site of the former Vallelunga Military Zone, located in the northern part of Pula Bay, an innovation zone ZIP, spanning 25 ha, has been designed. Together with nearby residential areas, it would form a “third city center.” With the repurposing of 36 existing structures surrounded by greenery, the city aims to advance towards modern technology and research industries for the 21st century. Three zones have been designed: HIIT (Zone A) featuring an incubator and accelerator; CAMPUS (Zone B) as the BlueTech hub of Pula; and EPICENTER (Zone C) with a culture district.
