Part of the city of Zagreb, Croatia
Novi Zagreb
Novi Zagreb is the part of the city of Zagreb located south of the Sava river.
Novi Zagreb forms a distinct whole because it is separated from the northern part of the city both by the river and by the levees around Sava, esp. those built in 1979, following the 1964 flood. At the same time, the name usually refers to urban parts, while there are also older rural settlements south of the Sava that are administered as part of Novi Zagreb.
