Zagreb: Urban Cultural Identities and City Growth
This article showes how the city of Zagreb is culturally rather homogenous. Multicultural note to the city is detected in the presence of ‘ old’ minorities (Serbs, Jews, Roma, Slovenians, Czechs, Hungarians, and others), and strengthened by foreign migrants of other nationalities. Their number is rather low. The only larger migrant community in Zagreb is the Chinese community. The Chinese are not coming to Croatia directly from China, but from Hungary, other ex-Yugoslav republics, or other neighboring countries. There are special program lines for the culture projects of the traditional minority communities in Croatia. Their interest in specific cultural programs is not very vivid, and particuliarities of their cultures in the city culture are not very visible. Expressions of cultural diversity on the city level do not hallmark the Zagreb cultural life ; different groups tend to integrate into the city culture, and such integration is presently going on within the ever more expressed metropolitan role of Zagreb. As the city of Zagreb has been growing rather quickly, the homogeneous nature of its cultural identity is preserved and strengthened by the fact that most immigrants are of Croatian origin, and coming to the city from other parts of ex-Yugoslavia.
