ANALYSIS OF THE MASTER PLAN FOR THE PORT OF BELGRADE IN TERMS OF GUIDELINES FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF MEASURES FOR FLOOD PROTECTION IN COASTAL PLANNING PROCESS
Abstract: The specific position of Belgrade at the confluence of the rivers Sava and Danube, as a development potential has never been sufficiently used. Long has Belgrade’s descent to the river banks been just a statement in stories and plans, and emphasis has been put on this topic only on ocassions that were neither of architectural nor planning nature. In this paper, the existing problems will be examined from the perspective of struggle and adaptation to climate change,especially floods, taking into consideration the guidelines of the responsible climate planning, as well as possible results of their application. The guidelines will be reviewed and identified at the example of the master plan for space Danube part of Belgrade's waterfront from 2009th year by architect Daniel Libeskind.

The necessity of finding new solutions, as well as the responsible climate change planning application are the reality of today. Such processes have been initiated and have been ongoing in many cities in the world, while they are inevitable on our land and will be a huge opportunity for the final development of the coastal area of Belgrade, the prosperity of the city as a whole, as well as for the improvement of planning practice in Serbia.
