ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Skopje 2014

Skopje 2014 was a big project that happened in Skopje, which is the capital city of North Macedonia. It was all about making the city look different and more fancy.

The government of North Macedonia decided they wanted to make Skopje look nicer and more important. They wanted people to visit and be impressed by the city.

So, they built a lot of new buildings, statues, and bridges in the city. They also fixed up some old buildings and made them look new again.

Some people think Skopje 2014 was a good idea because it made the city look better and brought in more tourists. Other people think it was a waste of money because it cost a lot of money to do all the work, and some people didn't like the way the city looked after it was done.
