Thanks to the technical support of German partners, Kragujevac became the first Serbian city to, following the example of the EU cities, elaborate and adopt the Integrated Urban Development Strategy as a new instrument of sustainable urban development. New methodology approach in the elaboration of the Strategy was used as the op- portunity to verify already adopted local strategies and plans once more. Citizens, professionals and all interested parties were allowed to participate in the process of shaping the inner city urban identitity and defining the measures aimed at improving quality of life and raising the attractivity of the city centre to a far greater extent, i.e. they were involved in creating the preconditions for sustainable economic develop- ment and investment promotion. The measures, interventions and priority projects defined by the Strategy were coordinated with public and investor interests, but, first and foremost, with real needs of the citizens living in this area. After the adoption by the City Assembly, the Strategy became the main document for the future development of the inner city and its implementation the precondition for the enhancement of the quality of life in the city and the development of Kragujevac as a modern Serbian urban centre.
