Strati mancanti e contesti confusi nella struttura della metropoli post-socialista. Il caso di Belgrado, Serbia

Abstract

Belgrade (Serbia) has been passing through the post-socialism transformation for decades. The last several years have been marked by drastic urban changes on the one hand and non-governmental organizations` fights against that on the other. The present Serbian government has been planning and implementing projects mostly describable as attractive and grandiose, while on the opposite side, anti-regime organizations propose the alternatives. It seems that the layers between the alternative and the attractive are skipped, which demands an explanation and possible solution. Another burning issue is “the decontextualization” of the city – misused and perplexed layers in Belgrade`s structure, referring especially to the organization and implementation of culture and heritage in the public space.
