The project development includes in its territory the central pedestrian zone of the town of Dimitrovgrad, covering the space between the main boulevards “G. S. Rakovski” and “D. Blagoev” Blvd. and has a total area of 32 518 m². The main pedestrian zone of the town of Dimitrovgrad connects the station and the bus station with the administrative center of the city — the building of the Municipality. It is a representative architectural ensemble that combines many ideas of modernism from the first half of the twentieth century, solved in the aesthetics of neoclassicism. The site falls within the scope of immovable cultural property in accordance with Article 58 of the ZKN and Order No RD9D-0020/25.11.2010 of the Minister for Culture. The ensemble is organically connected on a meaningful, functional and aesthetic level with the rest of the city. Its high value is determined by human-scale spaces and their contained architecture, fully commensurate with other areas of urban tissue.
