U sklopu projekta „Zagreb za mene” provedena je interdisciplinarna metoda Akupunkture grada - istraživanje stajališta građana o potrebama, promjenama i lokacijama uređenja javnih prostora u gradu Zagrebu. Rad iznosi rezultate istraživanja i ističe važnost uloge participativnog modela planiranja, pri čemu predstavlja Akupunkturu grada (inicijativu koja djeluje u sklopu Društva arhitekata Zagreba) kao planerski alat za jačanje simboličke i identitetske poveznice stanovnika s vlastitom četvrti i gradom u cjelini. The City Acupuncture is an interdisciplinary method developed within the p roject ”Zagreb for me” in order to research the citizens’ attitudes about the revitalization of public urban spaces in Zagreb. This article presents the results of this research and highlights the importance of a participatory model in urban planning and design. The City Acupuncture is conceived as a planning tool aimed at strengthening the bonds between the citizens and their neighborhoods or the city as a whole.
