| | Summary: |
| | Both urban research and planning practice lately signifficantly contributed
to understanting and dealing with the phenomenon of urban shrinkage. Although
affected the most by population decrease and industrial regression since the political
changes in 1990, these advancements seem to have had varied influence in the former
Central and Eastern Europe. The focus of this paper is thus set on the problem of
signifficant population decline in the particular urban context of the Republic of Serbia
that was still neither fully recognized nor adequaltly addressed. Through consideration
of some international examples of strategic advancements in dealing with shrinkage
(particularly of Leipzig in Germany and Detroit in the US), the aim is to draw attention
to this issue, question solution transferability, as well as point out at some future
perspectives for shrinking urban realm in Serbia. |
