Urban regeneration of open public spaces as a tool for the strengthening of cultural tourism: the example of the historic core of Smederevo
Апстракт
The position of the Serbian city of Smederevo on the Danube River, the second longest river and
an important waterway in Europe, offers exceptional benefits for tourism, which is considered
as an important sector for local economic prospects. Smederevo also owns significant cultural
heritage, such as a preserved medieval Smederevo Fortress. Rich heritage, as well as local
culture and tradition, can be the drivers to attract new visitors, who already travel along the
Danube.
There are certain obstacles for the development of cultural tourism in Smederevo, too. First
of all, cultural heritage is scattered along the historical core of the city with numerous open
public spaces. The current state of these spaces is characterised by poor equipment and
connections, occupancy by parked cars, lack of adequate maintenance, and reduced security.
This is particularly visible along the Danube River, which represents a great limitation for the
entire city. The consequence of these deficie...ncies is the diminished use of these spaces and the
small number of tourists despite significant potential.
In accordance with the previous problem, there is a need for the urban regeneration of the open
public spaces of Smederevo, eventually achieving a double goal: their functional and physical
regeneration, as well as connecting these spaces into a unique network. This is also the goal of
this paper – to propose appropriate ways of the functional and physical improvement of open
public spaces in the historic core of Smederevo by researching urban regeneration options. The
expected results are the identified models of open public spaces of the city whose content and appearance positively influence the intensity of social interaction. As such, these spaces can
significantly improve the cultural-tourist offer of this Danube town.
