Towards a Low Carbon Future? Construction of Dwellings and its Immediate Infrastructure in City of Split

Globally the present is marked by a continuous increase of population in cities, an increase in usage of energy and an increase of pollution related to energy production and energy consumption. Technological innovations, new economic trends and political commitments are all coming together towards a low –carbon future. Yet, locally, in Croatia and in particular in Split, conditions for a well-managed sustainable energy strategy that promotes compact cities oriented towards public transport are not provided for. We argue that housing is the main, but not the only factor in the development and the construction of a city, which means that: -planning and programming of neighbourhoods, including their economic analyses, should be treated as an integral part of an existing city, and not as isolated entities - along with the dwellings construction neighbourhood supporting facilities should be built (schools, kindergartens, clinics, playgrounds, etc), as well as city supporting facilities (high schools, museums, etc.) (Kukoč, 2014) . In that regard we will analyse two neighbourhoods in Split, Trstenik that was planned in 1968, and constructed from 1974 to1976, and Kila that was planned in 2014, and is still under construction. All the necessary equipment for daily life and occasional activities, in terms of education, health, shopping and leisure in a general frame of limited commuting will be considered and explored by using city of Split GIS portal.
