In the first two decades of the 21st century, the spatial planning system in
Serbia underwent a significant transformation following the general trends
of change in Serbia. The neoliberal-market model of the economy has directly
led to the apparent suppression of social services and of the environmental
sector. After 2010, the formerly hierarchical organised system slowly began
to marginalise national, regional and local planning. Instead of that,
planning of special purpose areas became dominant and almost ubiquitous.
This plan, according to the Law, can cover all types of infrastructure, all
types of mining, tourist facilities and areas, energy, protected nature
objects and cultural and historical monuments, as well as the so-called
Belgrade Waterfront and the National Stadium. The paper analyses the causal
relationships that have led to the current state of planning, given the
systematisation of spatial plans of the special purpose areas so far
prepared. Additionally, the paper also discusses the effectiveness of such a
partial approach to the field of spatial planning and landscaping in Serbia.
