Skopje 2020 Project

The Skopje 2020 Project was an ambitious urban renewal initiative launched in North Macedonia's capital, Skopje, aimed at transforming the city's architectural landscape and cultural identity. Announced in 2014, it involved constructing new buildings, including government offices, museums, and monuments, while also restoring historic sites. The project sought to create a more modern city appearance, emphasizing national heritage. However, it faced criticism regarding costs, architectural style, and potential historical inaccuracies. Overall, Skopje 2020 aimed to reshape the city's image but sparked debates about identity and urban planning.
