Belgrad ei ole tänapäeval enam kollektiiv, vaid amorfne mass eemaldunud inimesi, kes juhinduvad oma kirgedest ja odavatest huvidest.” (Bosiljčić, 1998) Lõppkäsitluse eesmärk on määratleda Belgradi rannapiirkonna megaprojekti mõju maastiku analüüsi lähenemisviis ja rõhutatud analüüsi teostamine vajalikuks planeerimiseprotsessi algusest peale. Uurimistöö alusena valiti mitu küsimust kirjanduse allikat, mis puudutab megaprojekte, maastikuprotsesside ja muundumise riske, süsteemiteooriat ja paksu kirjeldust. Analüüsimeetodi idee vaadeldava maastiku kolme erineva vaatenurga ja kaardistamismeetodi abil saab analüüsida, kuidas lood XX sajandi Belgradi taset muuta ja Belgradi veepiiriprojekti kriitikat ekspertide ja aktivistidena kasutada. Analüüsi läbi vaadatud viisid arusaamani maastiku keerukusest ja ümberkujundamisest, varasematest lennukipõhistest kogemustest ning Belgradi veepiiril asuva projekti planeerimis- ja otsustusprotsessist. Lõpptulemuste pealistamismeetodi konstruktiivse kriitika, mida saaks laialdaselt kasutada kaevu jõe ääres toimimisele megaprojektidele.

On the Example of Belgrade Waterfront Project Supervisor: Friedrich Kuhlmann, Dipl. Ing. Place and date: Tartu, 01.06.2020 Abstract “The city is always a collective. Belgrade today is no longer a collective, but an amorphous mass of outcast individuals guided by their passions and cheap interests.” (Bosiljčić, 1998) The aim of the thesis is to define the approach for analysing the impacts of the Belgrade Waterfront megaproject on the landscape and to emphasize the necessity of the analysis implementation in the beginning of the planning process. For the base of the research, several sources of relevant literature were selected, which deal with risks of megaprojects, landscape processes and transformation, systems theory and thick description. The idea of the analysis approach is to observe the landscape from three different perspectives, and using mapping method to analyse the natural processes of the site, examples of planning competitions from the XX century in Belgrade and critique of the Belgrade Waterfront project by the experts and activists. The results of the analysis led to the comprehension of the landscape complexity and transformation, past planning experiences, and planning process and decision-making process of the Belgrade Waterfront project. The superimposition of the final outcomes formed a constructive critique which could be widely implemented to other megaprojects that take place by the river. Keywords: megaprojects, Belgrade Waterfront, Sava Amphitheatre, sociocultural landscape, landscape processes Acknowledgements I would first of all like to thank my supervisor Fredrich Kuhlmann for his support, dedication and inspiring guidelines. I would like to thank Dragana Ćorović for her great tips that helped me to approach the topic from a different perspective. Also, I want to thank EMU staff and teachers for their dedication during this study program. Finally, I would like to thank my parents and friends for their support. 1 Table of contents List of Figures 3 1. Introduction 4 2. Literature Review 10 2.1. Megaprojects as UFOs 10 2.2.

Introduction In 2014 project Belgrade Waterfront was for the first time presented to the public as a ready- made model of gigantic structures of luxurious housing with the design style that is typical for Dubai. At that time, the plan of the project still didn’t exist and the model itself didn’t offer enough information. It seemed that this unknown formation just
