Rebirth of Skopje reshapes a city after the quake
Skopje, capital of Macedonia, rebuilds five years after the 1963 earthquake that killed 1,073 and left most homeless. International planners from Japan, Greece, Norway, Britain, the United States and others shape a Master Plan through UNDP and UNESCO with Kenzo Tange overseeing the centre. A new university, theatre, opera house, and a modern rail hub rise, while seismology and flood-control projects, including a 125 metre dam and an artificial lake, anchor the future.
