30, Palmo ceva St, Belgrade, Phone (+38111)3331-500 / Fax (+38111)3331-550 offi [email protected] The fi rst pro-European Town Plan of Belgrade was introduced by Alban Chambon, a French architect of Belgian descent, in 1912, exactly a century ago. As he was an ardent supporter of historical tendencies or eclec sm, he modeled his view of town reconstruc on on a reinterpreta on of the past and the interna onal heritage. Daring ideas in his Plan have been a steady inspira on to genera ons of urban planners, and some of these ideas are s ll employed, with same mo fs but using diff erent technique, dynamism or method. Urban Planning Ins tute of Belgrade is s ll searching for solu ons for: turning the city towards River, estab- lishing and maintaining the old and the city axes, promo on and maintenance of the City’s natural core, waterfront enhancement, dis nguishing signifi cant landmarks and strengthening the city iden- ty through introduc on of City symbols. In a me of long-las ng transi on and prepara on for Belgrade to become one of the European metropolises, Urban Planning Ins tute has been ac ve on two parallel tracks. Being one of the City public service u li es, it follows and supports City Administra on in recovery of residen al areas built without due planning, build- ing and reconstruc on of capital infrastructure and transporta on systems, in preparing loca ons for new schools and nurseries, and construc on of non-profi t social housing units. At the same me, the Ins tute is engaged on revision of all regional, spa al and urban plans for the territory of Belgrade city proper and its seven suburban municipali es.

At the same me, Urban Planning Ins tute is engaged in strategic studies such as Belgrade City Development Strategy, special studies, strategic urban plans and spe- cifi c projects. A century a er Chambon, UPI is working on the new, pro-European Master Plan of Belgrade and General Regula on Plan for the en re city territory. It is essen al for the success of such kind of projects that Urban Planning Ins tute gathers knowledge, com- pares experiences and cooperates with urban planning ins tu ons from ci es in and worldwide, with local and foreign professional associa ons and universi- es. One cannot exist without the other: plans and projects are being made for the period to come. An cipa on of the future would not be successful without understand- ing the historical processes, as well as contemporary solu ons in city planning and management; without understanding trends in architecture and urban design, and permanent evalua on of ideas and experiences from more developed cites. Refurbishing and legaliza- on of unplanned developments are processes that are indispensable, as a result of the period behind us. But planning can be therefore considered as genuine challenge in this era of rapid changes, without boundar- ies, new technologies and knowledge, new priori es, commitments and global investment trends. The tasks and the dynamism of our me make it neces- sary to have experience, develop skills, gather knowl- edge, curiosity, communica on, and like Chambon, have the courage to propose bold ideas for a be er and more beau ful Belgrade.

Vojvode Stepe Street has a character of central wider zone, a tendency to develop into larger shopping zone, and with increased residen al density it is necessary to provide increase in accompanying public ameni es. DETAILED REGULATION PLAN OF THE RIVER SAVA AND LAKE PLATEAU

New neighbourhood is planned at 550 hectares area, of approximate capacity of 50,000 inhabitants. The area under the Plan is divided into eight func onal en es. The spa al connec ons with main city roads, good exposure and terrain height characteris cs provide signifi cant poten al for development of planned func- onal en es. A challenge for planning in this territory was to adjust the planned construc on to the natural environment, which is achieved in this Plan by means of introduc on of adequate traffi c matrix, construc on type and rec- ognizable space mo fs (environmental and man-made) which form the iden ty of the area covered by the Plan and smaller areas alike. DETAILED REGULATION PLAN OF THE RESIDENTIAL AREA “VIŠNJIČKO POLJE”

Residen al complex “Višnjičko polje” is planned as a new residen al complex for 21,000 inhabitants, located on the slope below the cemetery “Lešće”. The Plan was preceded by the public urban compe on. The win- ning entry has been signifi cantly modifi ed as a result of unstable terrain and various ownership transforma- ons. Planned land use in the complex is residen al with compa ble uses (retail, offi ce, sports and recre- a onal areas, etc.), and the accompanying public facili- es (culture, elementary schools, preschools, health centre, market, etc.). The encompassed area is about 94 hectares. DETAILED REGULATION PLAN OF SUBURB IN ZEMUN

Grmovac suburban neighbourhood is located along the highway Belgrade-Zagreb. The Plan encompasses the neighbourhood and the access road with the area of about 300 hectares.

DETAILED REGULATION PLAN OF “ALTINA 2” SUBURB IN ZEMUN

The Plan encompasses part of the Zemun municipality territory, between Highway M 22 - Belgrade to Novi Sad and railway Belgrade to Šid. Land area is about 260 hectares. About 60% of the suburb is built without planning documenta on, through spontaneous sprawl of “Al na” suburb. “Al na 2” is planned for around 19,000 residents. DETAILED REGULATION PLAN OF THE INDUSTRIAL ZONE BY THE HIGHWAY IN THE OF NEW BELGRADE, ZEMUN AND SURČIN

For a long me, the zone along the highway has been an extremely a rac ve loca on for industrial and retail developments. Area is partly equipped with infrastruc- ture and transport network. Within the area, various demands, services, technologies and diff erent types of produc on can be expected. Therefore, for its further development and ac va on in broader range, it was necessary to plan proper infrastructure, traffi c network and condi ons for the realiza ons of various purposes in such a way so as to enable construc on in stages and to meet various future needs. DETAILED REGULATION PLAN OF THE INDUSTRIAL ZONE UPPER ZEMUN

The territory of the industrial zone Upper Zemun is one of the most important commercial zones in Belgrade, posi oned in the north entrance direc on, extremely well connected, enabling direct connec on with the planned highway bypass, encompassing area of about 228 hectares (zone 3 - 125 hectares, zone 4 - 103 hect- ares). The planned area is a comprehensive commercial zone formed by the exis ng complex and new produc- on, retail and storage facili es. The equipment and construc on of the necessary traffi c areas and infra- structure systems is also planned, aiming to create favourable working condi ons while, at the same me, providing sa sfactory environmental condi ons. DETAILED REGULATION PLAN OF (ZONE A)

The Plan was preceded by a Spa al Program Solu- on of the Ada Huja territory – for the area about 470 hectares. Further elabora on is determined by dividing the territory into three zones. Zone A covers about 95 hectares, in which the following is planned: - radical transforma on of the area from predominantly commercial purposes into central func ons, i.e. exten- sion of the exis ng central zone of the City to the area in the coastal hinterland of the Danube, - spa al and func onal integra on of the area into the urban fabric by construc ng a new transporta on and infrastructure network, - development of integrated uses of the urban center, and - repairing, improving and protec ng the environment and crea ng condi ons for achieving environmental standards of the new “city waterfront” according to the principles of sustainable development.
