In my experience (Zagreb), you have this same organic development which leads to very crowded buildings with drastically different styles (like massive apartment buildings “boxing in” houses), very little pedestrian space, few parks and green areas… Some pretty messy and inhospitable neighborhoods.
Also some really good ones, so I’m wondering if the main factor is “some person in charge of a building wants to ensure that it fits the neighborhood”.
