Abstract
In Skopje the pedestrian has been unwillingly victimized by the seeminly unavoidable invasion of the vehicular traffic, fed by first of all, the rapid expansion of the city over the last decades, that has led to more private cars. This has resulted in losing valuable public greenery in the shape of tree-lines alongside the roads
being removed for road expansion, and the encroaching of public space by unused,
parked cars. These stationairy cars filled up sidewalks and courtyards almost
permanently that led to adaptation of the pedestrian.
