The subject of this paper is research of the possibility of integrating the designed bicycle-pedestrian highway Zagreb: from the Studentski Centar to Dugo Selo into the urban fabric with the aim of creating a continuous bicycle-pedestrian network that will positively influence the possibility of revitalizing brownfield locations in the immediate vicinity of the designed cycleway. The concrete proposal for the designed bicycle-pedestrian highway was created in 2016 in cooperation between students of the Faculty of Agriculture and the City of Zagreb. Given that the route was designed exclusively as a traffic infrastructure in the east-west direction according to the project at the time, it would divide the city area into northern and southern zones, just as the railway, the street of Vukovar and the Sava river currently does, and thus even more enhancing its effect as an obstacle to connecting these zones. The city of Zagreb, although suitable for the development of cycling and cycling infrastructure due to its relief and climate, it is not a cycling city and currently there isn't a sufficiently developed and infrastructurally equipped cycling network as seen in neighboring Central European metropolises. The main goal of the paper is to propose an alternative conceptual solution for the integration of the planned traffic-functional solution with recreational, cultural-historical, social and ecological contents. Through the study of relevant literature, a field tour, spatial landscape analysis of the existing situation and valid spatial planning documentation, the possibility of upgrading the linear network that would connect the city in both directions (north - south and east - west) is highly emphasized. Therefore, for the purpose of further analysis an online survey with 208 respondents was conducted and the synthesis of survey results were made as a quantitative analysis, and then, with the aim of a deeper analysis, two participatory workshops with different age groups were also implemented. This determined the direction of research into the possibility of integrating the designed infrastructure with the abandoned spaces of the city. The implementation of the obtained conclusions was presented at the pilot project for the section from the Studentski centar to the Borongaj turnpike.
