  • 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.
