Reframing public interest in the implementation of large urban projects in Serbia: The case of Belgrade Waterfront Project
Drugačije sagledavanje javnog interesa u realizaciji velikih urbanih projekata u Srbiji - slučaj projekta Beograd na vodi
Apstrakt
Entrepreneurial urban governments around the world use large-scale projects for promoting cities as a place for enhanced quality of life and attracting investment from an international level. However, large urban projects frequently challenge democratic planning and public interest, and break up conventional city planning models. We argue that the changed city government’s entrepreneurial role calls for reframing the public interest, taking into consideration both global private interests and sustainable impacts and benefits for varieties of local public interests. The paper presents the case of Belgrade Waterfront Project. Results show an efficient entrepreneurial direction of the Serbian national government, contrary to the worldwide experiences where urban governments take the lead. Still, it is questionable whether the outcomes will be just and fair, especially when it comes to “winners’‘ and “losers’‘. We place equity at the top of agenda for public officials and planners in the i...mplementation of large-scale projects. Therefore, we believe there are varieties of public interests on various spatial levels, defined by politicians, explored by planning experts’‘, and accepted by the citizens for obtaining broader social support.
Preduzetne urbane uprave širom sveta koriste velike projekte u promociji grada za bolji kvalitet života i privlačenje investicija sa međunarodnog nivoa. Ipak, veliki urbani projekti često testiraju demokratsko planiranje i javni interes, i raskidaju konvencionalne modele planiranja gradova. Smatramo da promenjena preduzetna uloga gradskih vlasti zahteva drugačije sagledavanje javnog interesa, uzimajući u obzir istovremeno globalne privatne interese i održive uticaje i koristi za razne lokalne javne interese. Rad prikazuje slučaj projekta Beograd na vodi. Rezultati pokazuju efikasan preduzetni pravac srpske nacionalne vlade, različit od svetskih iskustava u kojima urbane uprave imaju vođstvo. Pitanje je da li će ishodi biti pravični i fer, posebno kada su u pitanju “pobednici” i “gubitnici”. Postavljamo pravičnost na vrh agende za javne službenike i planere u realizaciji velikih urbanih projekata. Verujemo u postojanje varijeteta javnih interesa na različitim prostornim nivoima, definis...anim od strane političara, ispitanim od strane stručnjaka u planiranju i prihvaćenim od strane građana za dobijanje šire društvene podrške.
