The The rivers played a decisive role in establishing economic prosperity of cities was based on their international traffic connections and the ability to utilize coastal resources, but it also led inclusive economic development of Belgrade in to the degradation and pollution of these urban the 19th century and its transformation from an spaces. From the sixties of the XX century, where oriental settlement into a modern European city. the process of regeneration started in Britain, the After 1830 Belgrade was rapidly developing as a possibility of waterfront renewal and the idea of commercial and trading center (Bajić and creating a new identity of cities by coastal area Basarić, 2014). The coastal area around becomes a significant topic among the planners Kalemegdan fortress played an extremely (Marshall, 2001). important role in the period of liberation from the Belgrade used its coastal area for centuries for Turkish influence and the creation of the new defense purposes, so that only in the 20th Serbian Belgrade. The position at the confluence century began to descend on the coast and of the river enabled the city's commercial conquer the left bank of the Sava by building prosperity since the transport of goods was New Belgrade. The ambivalent attitude of carried out to the greatest extent by river flows, Belgrade towards its rivers is a logical and especially benefited from the intensive consequence of these events through time. development of the industry which was the main However, through the decades-long urban carrier of modernization and urban development of the city, many potentials of the development, especially in the period until the waterfront area have remained unused. The First World War (Bajić and Basarić, 2014). shores of the Danube and Sava represent a significant part of an attractive, but inadequately used urban space. In the last few years, there have been plans for several potential huge sites in the coastal zone (Marina Dorćol, Port of Belgrade, Belgrade Waterfront Project) for their transformation with ambitious reconstruction proposals to future purposes.

Before, this was an empty terrain along the river. Since the beginning of the 20th century, the industry has become one of the most important holders of economic and urban development in Belgrade. The new factories in this industrial zone had formed along the river after the opening of the Beton Hall, Danube harbor and main Port of Belgrade (Mihajlov, 2011). The 1923 Belgrade Master Plan's preparation and implementation process, a significant moment in Belgrade's political and urban history when, after Figure 3.

The goal of industrialization, but also represents the government and city authorities was to create a separation of river banks from the city core, representative national capital and overcome which to this day has remained one of the the city's existential and functional problems. The biggest urban challenges and unresolved 1923 Master Plan introduced very innovative and problems (Vuksanović-Macura, 2015).

Основна претпоставка заснивала се на очекивањима да ће се установити непосредна повезаност гимнастичког и соколског система вежбања са спортом који се рађао. У истраживању је примењен историјски метод. Резултати у раду указују на значајну улогу грађанских гимнастичких друштава – соколских („Соко“) и витешких („Душан Силни“) у појави, полуларизацији и развоју модерног спорта крајем 19. и почетком 20. века у Србији. Сва ова друштва, без обзира на име, у намери да одрже своје и привуку ново чланство, предвиђала су својим уредбама и статутима, поред гимнастике која је била окосница програма телесног вежбања, прихватање и увођење других спортских активности и оснивање клубова. Новооснована „гимнастичка“ – „спортска одељења“ у борењу, стрељаштву, клизању, јахању, пливању, веслању, велосипеду, лоптању, развијала су се и прерастала у спортске клубове. Њиховим издвајањем из матичних гимнастичких друштава омогућен је бржи развој појединачних спортских грана, које се сматрају првим модерним спортовима у Србији.

  • Treating Two 18Th Century Maps of the Danube in Association with Google-Provided Imagery
    ON THE DIGITAL REVIVAL OF HISTORIC CARTOGRAPHY: TREATING TWO 18TH CENTURY MAPS OF THE DANUBE IN ASSOCIATION WITH GOOGLE-PROVIDED IMAGERY Evangelos Livieratos Angeliki Tsorlini Maria Pazarli [email protected] Chrysoula Boutoura Myron Myridis Aristotle University of Thessaloniki Faculty of Surveying Engineering University Campus, Box 497 GRE - 541 24 Thessaloniki, Greece Abstract The great navigable Danube River (known as the Istros River to the Ancient Greeks and as one of the crucial ends of the Roman Empire northern territories) is an emblematic fluvial feature of the overall European historic and cultural heritage in the large. Originating in the German Black Forest as two small rivers (Brigach and Breg) converging at the town of Donaueschingen, Danube is flowing for almost 2850 km mainly eastwards, passing through ten states (Germany, Austria, Slovakia, Hungary, Croatia, Serbia, Romania, Bulgaria, Moldova and Ukraine) and four European capitals (Vienna, Bratislava, Budapest and Belgrade) with embouchure in the west coasts of the Black Sea via the Danube Delta, mainly in Romania. Danube played a profound role in the European political, social, economic and cultural history influencing in a multifold manner the heritage of many European nations, some of those without even a physical connection with the River, as it is the case of the Greeks, to whom the Danube is a reference to their own 18th century Enlightenment movement. Due to Danube’s important role in History, the extensive emphasis to its cartographic depiction was obviously a conditio sine qua non especially in the 17th and 18th century European cartography. In this paper, taking advantage of the modern digital technologies as applied in the recently established domain of cartographic heritage, two important and historically significant 18th century maps of the Danube are comparatively discussed in view also to the reference possibilities available today in relevant studies by the digital maps offered by powerful providers as e.g.

According to the Newman - Kenworthy classification, Belgrade is a typical “public transport city”, while due to its transport strategy Belgrade can be best described as a hybrid of the Thomson’s “low cost strategy” (very high usage of buses) and “strong centre strategy” (high concentration of jobs in it’s CBD). This type of spatial development and urban transport strategy is extremely sensitive to the rise of personal motorization and automobile usage. Since in Belgrade: a) main mode of transport are buses, b) streets are very narrow, c) although public transport oriented, Belgrade doesn’t have rail systems with separated, “exclusive” right of way (metros, and light rail systems - traffic jams at Belgrade’s streets are extremely pronounced – number of vehicles per 1 km of streets is – 277 vehicles/km. Hence, Belgrade has four times more vehicles per 1 km of street network than Australian cities, two times more than metropolises of the USA and Canada, and 25% more than the West European and wealthy Asian cities.
