Instead of shops, kindergartens and green areas, which were foreseen in the original plan of general regulation, in Block 63, new 66.000 commercial square meters will be built. The city authorities have shown once again that they protect investors and do not care about the will of the citizens who protested several times because of the new plan.
The City of Belgrade has published a detailed regulation plan for four smaller units located in the central part of Block 63 in New Belgrade. The new economy.
Currently, there is a park, unorganized green areas, residential buildings and the "Tempo" store. Although the plan is to keep the park and the built residential buildings, new residential and business premises, of some 66.000 square meters, as well as a new preschool institution, will be built on the currently "unorganized green areas".
The investor is the Concord West company, and the new detailed regulation plan covers the space between Nehurova, Japan and Europe streets, with a total area of 7,5 hectares.
The new plan conflicts with the hierarchically higher, general regulation plan, which provided for a "commercial content zone" on blocks 1 and 4 (which includes markets, shopping centers, showrooms, hotels...) instead of residential buildings with shops on the ground floor.
What does the block currently look like?
Within block 1, which is covered by the plan, there is currently a "Tempo" hypermarket. The free part of the plot, around the building, is used as a parking lot for visitors.
Block 2 represents a public green area - a recently renovated park.
Within the part of Block 3 there are "unorganized green areas", while in the remaining part there are built residential buildings up to four floors, it is stated.
Block 4 consists mainly of "unorganized green areas".
What's changing?
According to the higher order plan, i.e. the General Regulation Plan, blocks 1, part of block 3 and block 4 are intended for the zone of accompanying commercial contents, part of block 2 is intended for green space (it is an existing park), while part of block 3 is intended for children's institution.
According to the Decision on the development of this detailed regulation plan, the boundary of the plan should have included two blocks in the central part of Block 63 (Block 1 and Block 2) in an area of about five hectares.
However, during the preparation of the Elaborate for early public review, the Center for Urban Development Planning, as the processor of the plan, was approached by the owners of the cadastral parcel 3347/40 - which in this case is the state, with the initiative to expand the plan's boundary to include two more neighboring blocks – Block 3 and Block 4.
"Given that it is about the same urban plan and the character of the space, we consider it justified to expand the boundary of the plan and to treat the entire central part of block 63 as a single unit and elaborate it through a single planning document," the plan reads, as quoted The new economy.
Appeal to the investor
How is it wrote "Vreme", not only is it unusual for lower urban plans to be replaced by higher ones, but this practice works directly against the citizens in the Bežani blocks, who do not want studded "ready-made" housing, but open spaces with a public purpose, accompanying contents or greenery.
"On behalf of dozens of citizens who contacted us and insisted that we react, we appeal to WD Concord West as an investor and to the Center for Urban Development Planning as a processor, to withdraw this proposal for a detailed regulation plan and enter into a dialogue with citizens regarding the primary purpose of this space." , said Nikola Jovanović from the Center for Local Self-Government.
Citizens unite
Tenants of Novobeograd blocks who oppose the construction of a residential and business complex in Block 63, which they claim will destroy green areas, have repeatedly protested near the site where the construction site is planned.
They also launched a petition against the construction of buildings in the New Belgrade blocks and plan to establish a citizens' association that will exclusively deal with legal issues related to urban projects in blocks 61, 62, 63 and 64.
The first protest meeting was held on February 14, at the same time as the protest at Bežanijska kosa, where the tenants oppose construction of a residential-business complex with a 120-meter skyscraper, also to the detriment of green areas.
