Urban Development Center

Urban Development Center was formed by a group of experts from various fields: history, art, archeology, anthropology, economics, architecture, civil-engineering, etc. Center is a result of the project ‘Belgrade’, which aimed at promoting Belgrade at the Venice Architecture Biennale 2006, and has received numerous awards and recognitions. The main objectives of the Centre are promotion of urban living in Belgrade and the promotion of culture and arts within the urban areas. Center devotes special attention to the arrangement of public and exhibition space, and to protection of urban units in Belgrade, including the cultural and historical monuments that bear witness to the development of the city.
In addition to these activities, the Centre for Urban Development aims at promoting the application of advanced technologies and alternative energy solutions and environmental protection. A special segment of the Centre is dedicated to the creation of a positive business climate in Belgrade, which is necessary for urban development of the city. In short, our organization is engaged in improving all aspects of city life.
