New economic districts in Belgrade area

Abstract

Dynamic changes in spatial structure of cities are in the focus of attention, as well as, the development of new economic zones/poles in urban areas, new spatial forms of economic activity. It is considered that the processes of globalization and market mechanisms have led to the 'break down' of urban structures into numerous specialized localities, by way of developing economic clusters and other activities. The development of new economic poles in cities is a consequence of activating new localities and changing the present territorial organization and the development of 'knowledge-based' economic activities. In city Belgrade the new economic districts - new industrial, commercial, entrepreneurial zones developed systematically or spontaneously in the suburban areas (along highways) have a major role in spatial development of economic activities and in the planning of territorial organization of that metropolitan areas.
