Kamenica’s Transit Oases was Initiated through a municipal effort to reactivate the city center, this civic-oriented project placed community and youth at its core. Children were involved from the outset as co-imaginators, contributing ideas and drawings that directly shaped the spatial language. Through collaborative workshops, residents, students, and vendors helped envision a street not as infrastructure, but as a civic platform.
Design progressed through 2023, with phased construction ensuring minimal disruption. By 2024, the site evolved into a vibrant public space — hosting micro-markets, informal performances, riverside gatherings, and outdoor classrooms. More than a transit corridor, the project became a social connector, blending movement with rest, structure with spontaneity. Its most lasting impact lies in restoring collective ownership, especially among youth, and setting a new precedent for participatory urban transformation in small-town settings.
