  • The Evaluation of Urban Renewal Waterfront Development: the Case of the Sava Riverfront in Belgrade, Serbia
    sustainability Article The Evaluation of Urban Renewal Waterfront Development: The Case of the Sava Riverfront in Belgrade, Serbia Aleksandra Djuki´c 1 , Jelena Mari´c 1, Branislav Antoni´c 1 , Vladimir Kovaˇc 1,*, Jugoslav Jokovi´c 2 and Nikola Dinki´c 2 1 Faculty of Architecture, University of Belgrade, Bulevar kralja Aleksandra 73/II, 11000 Belgrade, Serbia; [email protected] (A.D.); [email protected] (J.M.); [email protected] (B.A.) 2 Faculty of Electronic Engineering, University of Niš, Aleksandra Medvedeva 14, 18000 Niš, Serbia; [email protected] (J.J.); [email protected] (N.D.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 9 July 2020; Accepted: 10 August 2020; Published: 15 August 2020 Abstract: Belgrade is the only capital in the world at the confluence of two major international rivers navigable for global shipment—the Danube and the Sava River. However, it was only after the unification of all riversides within Yugoslavia in 1918 that Belgrade started to develop its riverfront; initially, as green recreation areas during the socialist era. Since the post-socialist transition, this trajectory has sharply changed in order to create new urban nodes along the riverfront. The best example is the newest project of the urban renewal of waterfront development at the Sava River, the “Belgrade Waterfront Project.” This mega-project has sparked a lot of attention. The aim of this research is to present, evaluate, and spatially determine this attention before and after the project inauguration. This observational study is conducted by using two methods from social discourse: a survey, as a traditional method, and analysis based on social network data (Twitter) as a newer, “smarter” one.

  • With Klavdij Sluban 3 -7 May 2021
    EAST TO EAST PHOTOGRAPHY : Belgrade with Klavdij Sluban 3 -7 May 2021 An immersive workshop in Belgrade with Klavdij Sluban, a French photographer of Slovenian origin renowned internationnally, who has been photographing, exhibiting and leading workshops (also in Krusevac and Valjevo jails for teenagers) in Serbia for the last 20 years. Belgrade is one of Europe’s most happening cities and offers the most inspiring photographic ambiences. It hurtles towards a brighter future. Its chaotic past unfolds in front of your lens: socialist blocks are squeezed between art nouveau masterpieces, and remnants of the Habsburg legacy contrast with Ottoman relics and socialist modernist monoliths. Specifity of the workshop This workshop consists of developing one’s personal photographic writing throughout a unique exploration of Belgrade. Discovering places that remain hidden to travellers passing by will enable an exploration off the beaten tracks and outdoor spaces. Another part will be focused on more inner spaces and more interior and personal territories. The sensitive viewer will appreciate the multi-layered approach Belgrade offers. Klavdij Sluban’s capacity of sharing and transmitting photography helps each participant to find their skills as an author. Everyday photo sessions will be followed by a daily editing, main pillar to build a coherent and meaning- ful series. “Show me your photos and I will tell you who you are”. Who can join this workshop Anyone who has a passion for the still image: professional photographers, artists, students of photography and art, amateurs of photography and art, etc... Klavdij Sluban believes that every individual has the capacity to build one’s own visual language when passion for the image and the right guidance co-exist.
