Will there be a new Mladost 5 neighborhood in the area of the same name? The question arose after a speech by the Deputy Mayor for Construction of Sofia, Ing. Angel Dzhorgov. During the presentation a week ago of the sites, which will be financed with a loan of 120 million BGN, which the Municipality of Sofia will withdraw from the European Investment Bank, he pointed out the construction of Copenhagen Blvd.

This is the territory behind the BAS complex on Tsarigradsko Shosse Blvd. and the area behind the Metro store and school 145, which is currently undeveloped. This was also understood during the next discussion in the municipal works commissions for financing with the EIB loan.
The area of this territory is approximately 168 decares and the continuation of Andrei Sakharov Blvd. will run through it, which will actually be named Copenhagen Blvd. The goal is to connect Alexander Malinov Blvd. and Tsarigradsko Shosse Blvd. in an attempt to alleviate the traffic in Malinov.

It is not yet clear whether it will be a new neighborhood or an extension of an existing one in the area, but of the plans under consideration, in addition to a boulevard, buildings will be built there.
