Summary

Zoran Lj. Nikolić, Mirko Radonjić: The Secret of New Belgrade

Additional edition

From the cover:

"This is not a book only about New Belgrade, on the contrary, it is the story of the birth of our only great city. The area unattractive and uninhabited for centuries, the border and brigandage between empires, became precisely the key interstices whose completion is the complex puzzle of the great Belgrade we know. The one in which the resident of Čukarica has his favorite place in Zemun, where people from the center find a magical thread in the periphery. The legendary spirit of Belgrade can be read in this intersection. That's why this is the story of an indivisible whole. And what a hero that is!

Do we know that another river, in addition to the Sava, "sneaked" into the Danube? Some people know what happened at the Old Fair before and during, even after the war - many don't, as well as the fact that until the 1960s airplanes landed in Belgrade on the premises of today's offices and shopping centers. How many pontoon bridges were there in ancient times, which armies stepped on them, and what stories, wartime and peacetime, are hidden from the skeletons of the existing metropolitan bridges?

The new Belgrade is a hero whose origin and year of conception are unknown to most. Why should May 20 be celebrated as a municipal day? How did it come about that modern Vikings and their ships spread sand on the swampy Srem soil before the youth brigades, and for what kind of country, wider than Yugoslavia, was a new city founded in that sand? Who were the people who designed and shaped it? How and to what extent were the plans turned into reality? Why isn't there a pedestrian zone with the Central Square and the encased Tower of Babel on it? What did we not manage to do?

From a marshy wasteland to a modern business center, New Belgrade is a testimony of great changes, ambitions and persistence of its builders. This book reveals how a city symbol of the new age and one of the largest urban projects in the history of Yugoslavia was created on the left bank of the Sava."
