One of the main challenges for sustainable urban development of Belgrade with its
1.7 million citizens is prolifc informal development and uncontrolled urban sprawl. These
phenomena were initiated mainly because of rural to urban migrations, however they
continued more intensively in the 1990s, not only because of regular migration, but as after
effect of forced exile of people from Kosovo and Metohija and refugee crisis in ex-Yugoslavia
wars.
The informal settlements occupy rural land in the outskirts of Belgrade, mostly by main in
and out transit corridors. The characteristics of these neighbourhoods is unexpectedly high
standard in residential buildings, even luxury, in contrast with unfavourable environmental
conditions, the lack of urban standards and highly increased coeffcients, absence of
technical infrastructure or at least existence of the inadequate one, shortage of basic social
and public utilities and public spaces.
Underlying conditions why so many people live... in informal settlements are the high cost
of “formal” housing (issues of affordability), as well as there may be discussed to less degree
some aspects of residential preference. The empirical research is carried out on the examples
of several urban plans for standardization, regulation and legalization of these settlements in
Belgrade, which established a model for resolving the situation, with a goal to obtain better
living conditions and limit the informal growth by employing urban planning tools.
