This paper traces urban history of Belgrade in the 19th century by looking into its waterscape in the context of its
transformation as the capital of the Princedom of Serbia. Aiming to underline the importance of water as a resource, with the
view to contemporary environmental concerns, we explore how citizens historically related to waterscape in everyday life and
created a specific socio-spatial water network through use of public baths on the river banks and public fountains, water
features and devices in the city. The paper outlines the process of establishing the first modern public water supply system on
the foundations of the city’s historical Roman, Austrian and Ottoman waterworks. It also looks at the Topčider River as the
most telling example of degradation of a culturally and historically significant urban watercourse from its natural, pastoral and
civic past to its current polluted and hazardous state. Could the restitution of the Topčider River be considered as a le...gacy of
sustainability for future generations, and are there lessons to be learned from the urban history which can point to methods of
contemporary water management?
