Split
Split, the second largest city in Croatia, has a special Mediterranean influence that makes it especially welcoming, cozy and warm.
The city of Split was for a long time the “hidden pearl” of the Croatian coast, but in the past few years, more and more people have discovered its beauty and its 2000 years of history.
Split faces several social and environmental risks, including a heavy reliance on tourism that leads to economic vulnerabilities like seasonal unemployment and an increased cost of living, which can cause gentrification and displacement of local residents. The city's aging population further strains healthcare and social services. Environmentally, Split grapples with pollution and waste management challenges, particularly during tourist peaks, and is threatened by coastal erosion and rising sea levels due to climate change. Additionally, urban expansion and increased human activity pose risks to local biodiversity and natural habitats. Addressing these issues requires sustainable planning and policies that balance development with conservation and social equity.
