AB  - The paper focuses on the border towns of the Republic of North Macedonia (RNM), geographically
located in the eastern and western part of the country, highlighting the specificities of their
morphology in the context of their recent development and/or decline. The selected examples belong
to two different planning regions of the RNM: the East region – Delchevo, and the Southwest region -
Struga. Providing an overview of the identified directions and patterns of their urban expansion, it will
be possible to determine the morphological features which have both affected and reflected their
general urban transformations. Currently, the condition of the border towns from the East region
indicates the increasing marginalisation and, consequently - decline, while those from the Southwest
region register progress and growth on the socio-economic and spatial level. Due to these drastic
differences, the paper will provide a comparative analysis of their urban form, simultaneously
targeting both the micro and the macro level. Considering the latest studies on urban morphology and
its relationship with overall urban development, the paper will also address the identified problems
and trends, proposing the planning recommendations for the future transformations and their
sustainability in the long run.

AB  - Design education in architecture and its allied disciplines represents one of the cornerstones for design professionals, contributing to the sustainable future of the built environment. However, despite the dedication of educators, the changing focus in design pedagogy is still not fully embraced in the university setting. Recent concerns about outmoded and static approaches in the higher education have, therefore, triggered some new insights casing the updating, upgrading and improvement of programs. Consequently, critical thinking and inquiry, creativity and innovation, research and investigation, collaboration and civic engagement, supported by technical competences, have become increasingly valued in the contemporary design pedagogy.Following this trend, one of the master courses at the University of Belgrade -Faculty of Architecture,  entitled Sustainable City, has been structured around the project oriented approach. The curriculum supports student` work, with the final test in theform of a Civil Initiative Project Proposal which responds to various ongoing competitions and calls. The process is finalised through a Civil Initiative Project Proposal data set, established on the Teams platform, providing the possibility of an active involvement into practice, while solving the various problems of local communities.

AB  - New Belgrade was planned as an automobile-dependent city with a block structure. After the drastic changes it had been exposed to, the block structure remained untouched but with new usages, pedestrian activities, and routes as a final product. These changes are sporadic and scattered, but together there is a system of elements of a compact city making pedestrian-friendly environments. In this paper, based on a conceptual approach, these elements will be mapped in New Belgrade super-block 30, one of the mainly unchanged super-blocks. There are examples of small urban design interventions, such as new park areas, paths, and ramps. It is making the inclusion of different groups of users – from the youngest to oldest ones or recreationists and wheelchair users. Historically, some parts of super-block 30 have been left unfinished in its construction and had formed empty spaces. From undefined large areas to equipped zones dedicated to specific users, these changes created a new perception of communal public spaces by residents in super-block. An aim is to define how inclusive territory is formed. In which way do these changes contribute to making a new identity for this part of the city? They have new gathering places for activities and a new way of belonging to that super-block, at the same time creating new reasons to stay and influence the community in the super-block. In that sense, there was conducted unobstructed observation and semi-structured interviews with residents to examine if new interventions helped the community, their perception, and usage. Connections between these new pockets contribute to making new pedestrian routes as a part of the walking system through the New Belgrade block structure. Planning further development of these activities and routes can help in the transformation of post-socialist block structure neighbourhoods to compact cities and more inclusive and pedestrian-friendly environments.

AB  - THE ROLE OF TARGETS AND STANDARDS IN DELIVERING URBAN GREENSPACE FOR PEOPLE AND WILDLIFE
Greenspace and blue spaces, parks and natural areas (wildspaces) are the places where those who live and work in urban areas have the contact with nature that is important for their mental and physical health and well-being and their quality of life (Faculty of Public Health 2010; Lee and Maheswaran 2011; Tzoulas and Greening 2011; van den Berg et al. 2015; Parliamentary Office of Science and Technology 2016; World Health Organization (WHO) 2016). People experience biodiversity where they live and work. Opportunities for people to come into contact with nature in their everyday lives should be a fundamental part of urban planning and design.

Case study 4: Regulating greenspaces: initiatives, documents and standards in Belgrade, Serbia
The green features of the city of Belgrade have always represented an important element of its identity. The major development strategies and documents have followed the contemporary paradigms of urban planning and design by thoroughly elaborating the issues of distribution, typology, and quality of greenspaces.
