• Zemun, Bežanijska Kosa, and industrial/business zones near Pupin Bridge.

History and development of New Belgrade

New Belgrade was formally established in 1952 as a planned modernist urban area. Designed with wide boulevards, large blocks with green courtyards, and public spaces, it transformed from a sparsely populated area into a vibrant urban district.
