New Belgrade, Administrative district in Belgrade, Serbia.
New Belgrade is an administrative district on the left bank of the Sava River and presents itself as a modern residential area with wide streets, rectangular blocks, and tall apartment buildings. The zone was built on former wetlands and now shapes Belgrade's contemporary cityscape with a clear, planned design.
Construction of this district began in 1948 when volunteer brigades transformed uninhabited wetlands into a modern urban center for socialist Yugoslavia. This planned transformation was part of an ambitious post-war urban development project.
The Sava Center serves as the largest conference and cultural venue in Serbia, hosting international events, concerts, and exhibitions throughout the year.
Six bridges connect the district to the old city center, while numerous bus lines, trams, and modern shopping centers ease movement throughout the area. The entire region is walkable, and the clear street layout makes navigation straightforward.
The district follows a numbered block system from 1 to 72, which simplifies navigation through the geometric street grid. This system makes addresses easy to understand and helps visitors quickly find their way across the large area.
