Last few years cities in Serbia witnessed a number of problems with small urban
streams and an inappropriate sewer systems. Traditional approach of solving these
problems, using underground pipes and concrete revetments, is inefficient and
expensive. Instead, it is increasingly becoming common to use “soft” approach
based on the natural processes and use of the existing landscape elements and
plants for water treatment. Thus, water becomes the featured element in the urban
landscape, the new resource for the creation of public green spaces and
improvement of community health.
Planning the city zones surrounding small urban streams and old sewer systems
became challenging, as the number of experts from different fields, stakeholders
and citizens that should be involved grew. If such approach is to succeed, it is
critical to create appropriate institutional framework.
In this paper we are exploring appropriate institutional arrangement for planning
of these zones. We are bas...ing our research on the already proven and successful
examples from Europe. Finally, we are discussing the institutional constrains and
opportunities for implementation of these arrangements in Serbia, taking into
account the specific Serbian context, in order to make cities in Serbia more water
sensitive.
