Welcome to New Belgrade!

http://img31.photobucket.com/albums/v94/CrazySerb/bg2.jpg

Interesting how they get smaller and smaller, but they really are hideous. Actually, I remember the whole New Belgrade being pretty bad, especially when compared to the old city.

New Belgrade can be both-really nice and green in Usce and Sava blocks and ugly like on this pic.

WOW! Those commieblocks look like a pile of dominoes! :hahaha:

It looks special and futuristic! Cool residentials.

how can you live there , so depressing !

how can you live there , so depressing !
they are so ugly from the outside but condos inside are spacious and modern. i don`t know who worked on exterior design but he failed. :D

New Belgrade is not that bad...compared with much more beautiful but cramped downtown Belgrade, its very well planned, with wide avenues, reminiscent of north american style grids.

With higher-quality development in the future, it will all look like this:

Hmmm...KM, why do they put grass between the two road? I understand that the cement divides the two roads, yet it look really crappy...

BTW, cool building...

! CEMENT? Off course it is better to have grass. And because it is a construction site on both sides it looks crappy but when finished they will take care of it.

Once they finish construction they'll put new grass and probably repave the road, so it will end up looking something like this:

Amazing commie-blocks!:D

I wonder what can be done to take away thye attention from the ugliness... there is so many of them... it's like an army of commie blocks... ;)

Perhaps New Belgrade should be on the World Heritage List given the amazing ccommieblock collection which it has, the trio in a circle is quite outstanding!

The trio....

and this concentration of commieblocks...

http://www.jinpros.co.yu/images/konj2_high.jpg

...are not in New Belgrade, but across the river, in area known as Konjarnik.

Here's a few more of New Belgrade:)

Novi Beograd is my favourite! :cheers:

ill idea to build like shown on the pictures. im happy not to live there. :bash:

Amazing, realy amazing ! How many people lives in this part of belgrade ?
Its one of the komplexest commieblocks i've seen before.

300.000.

250.000 in New Belgrade and lets say some 50.000 in other parts with commie buildings.

300k!!??? Isn't it against the Human Rights? Buried alive in concrete graves - or as Fish sang: "..tower blocks, stalagmites of culture shock" ;)

it is just couple of blocks that look that way. other ones are ok. we don`t have indefinate space. Capital of New Zealand has 80km in span because they all live in houses not buildings.

happened to have a few aerials at my disposal, so here's Novi Beograd once more...

Damn that's a lot of commieblocks! Such variations..like it's considered to be art or something. Completely hideous.

it in fact seems to be the ugliest city in Europe!!! Do you have some nice pics of the center as a contrast to change my mind? - I also know personally this commieblock neighbourhoods :(

There are very many to see on this forum. Belgrade is a hot topic! :)

Guys, what you see above .... is only something like ~10% of the city, even less.

Commie blocks in Switzerland don't look much better, not to mention any other Eastern European metropolis (keep in mind Belgrade has over 2 million in metro). The old city is where it's at, and making such comments after seeing pics of commie block neighbourhoods is very uneducated. Hell, I could say Geneva is the ugliest city in the world just by its commie hoods.:)

Come on and say it - you can't hurt me with such offenses - my post was meant sarcastic. BTW I know how ugly our cities are - made even a special thread in this section about them ;)

:dj: Oh God, my eyes hurt from those bright yellows. Reminds me LEGO blocks. Anyways, nice pics but the buildings are really ugly. Why doesn't someone propose better designs for Belgrade?

Hmm, too much concrete, not enough trees.

Haha, that's pretty leet. :D

Kaliningrad style:D

wow! my dads from Belgrade....he never told me it was the ugliest city on earth:)
but its somehow special and appealing....somehow
...in the oldtown there are many outstandingly beautiful buildings though.

"he never told me it was the ugliest city on earth
but its somehow special and appealing"

Thats the spirit of Belgrade:okay:
SUre, its ugly...but its got something special about it..something that cannot be found in other cities;)

Well it's like saying Moscow is ugly if you just look at it's commieblocks. On the other hand it has beautiful old town just like Belgrade.

Its just mess nothing more.I hope central part of the city looks better :)

I like this New Belgrade. It's almost perfect, in fact!

Hey, you guys r pretty sad man, don't judge these buildings by their ugly exteriors, if you ever go inside any of Belgrade's "ugly" tower blocks you will see lush apartments usually furnished better than most Western European flats.

This is ridiculous that you guys are just showing pictures of run-down exteriors of, well, not the prettiest buildings in Belgrade, and calling it the most ugly city in the World, God damn are you guys retarded or something?

Belgrade is amazingly beautiful, I have a gallery of it at:
http://www.pbase.com/stefan_serb/belgrade_2005

If you ever visit England (aparently the country with th best economy in Europe) and go to the suburbs of London or any other city and go to a "council estate" you will see even uglier buildings than this. Plus, they aren't even nice inside, they stink, are usually filled with graffiti and dogshit, there is almost always gangs of blacks hanging around outside smoking weed and using mobile phones to film assaults on people for fun.

How bad is Belgrade now? Imbecils.

Hey welcome to the forum, Stefan!
I saw your pbase gallery before, nice work:okay:

Hope you stick around...check out our regional forum "Eastern Europe"

Christ's sake, no need to get so damn defensive.

:runaway:

Commieblocks are better places to grow up than in suburban houses, where kids are isolated and turn into psychos ;)

Besides, Stefan is right, you might be surprised on how good the apartments look inside these commieblocks. In Kyiv you might walk into a crappy looking dirty commieblock on the exterior and on the inside you'll find flat plasma tv's hanging on walls and complete modern designer work interior.

wow!! i love those huge open fields between the buildings, roads, etc..
its like they didnt care about spending extra space on building these commie block areas

most commie areas look like the projects in america

Paint the buildings, pland lots of tall trees add some water around it and there you go problem solved.

Those were wonderful pictures! So well planned, commieblocks sorted by type! Nice gallery to walk around. Very impressive, I'd really like to see that with my own eye some day... Whoever designed it, he really did it well.

What a great comeback! You are the witties of them all.

Plus show me one statement he made about London that is not true? I lived there for over 2 years, he got it spot on. All of the things he mentioned were in the news while i lived there.
Get a life man...

there is almost always gangs of blacks hanging around outside smoking weed and using mobile phones to film assaults on people for fun.

there are gangs of all races in london, not just blacks, why single them out.

you sound like a racist, as this is your first post i suggest you try and keep your prejudices to yourself from now on before you get banned.

Fair point but I have to say that London's Metropolitan Police are infinitely more civilised than the Serbian Police. They have not commited a war crime yet. :)

^Too bad about our armed forces, eh? The inventors of concentration camps among other things ;) Every nation has its cross to bear, and has no business moralising to others, so fuck off, OK? :cheers:

I don`t remember police of Serbia as such committed any war crimes but we all know that London's police has no problems with shooting people on random basis. Does the name Jean Charles de Menezes ring a bell?

Why's there so much criticism on Belgrade as a whole, when it is mostly the Blokovi neighbourhood? Even look at my city, Toronto. In my opinion, the riverside district around the Opera House isn't the most presentable part of the city, despite having a venue like that in the area.. (But it's also a very historic part of the city). There are other neighbourhoods as well that aren't the greatest, but Toronto is still a great city overall.

That's low... :ohno:

Oh, okay. Well here you go, a quick search on Google brings back a few pages!

Does that mean the UK & France were wrong to declare war on Germany for invading Poland then???

Does that mean the UK & France were wrong to declare war on Germany for invading Poland then???

they declared to help us if Germany invade Poland, meanwhile they were just watching agony of Poland.

BOWATER,

as for your attitude: whats your problem?

NOW, have you ever been to PIMLICO? CENTRAL LONDON. OK SW is the post code. ever seen that comunism? monstuous. its a second London ZOO.

the thread is about NEW BELGRADE subs not central london. take my hat off for the very central london and nice west and southwest london, and zone 2 north and northwest as well as barnet and those areas.

do you know how london is built. for those who dont- you got a perfect area and one block of buildings that politely said do not fit. thats the council flats or UK COMMUNISM. just imagine a pretty girl who glued a male organ right on her forehead.

ever been to TOOTING, BRIXTON, STOCKWELL, OVAL, KENINGTON, SHOREDITCH, JUST OFF CANARY WHARF (whats it called?).....

i mean the whole of southeast and east london. do you ever go there???

OR JUST NORTH OF KINGS CROSS???

just to sum up:
every citys got both sides.

guys, loosen that attitude.

they declared to help us if Germany invade Poland, meanwhile they were just watching agony of Poland.

No they fought World War II which had more action than watching to be frank.

Hang on, did you read the whole thread? My post was in reply to stefan_serb's attack on London, he's now banned by the way. I never said anything on the subject of London being a slum free utopia as you seem to suggest was the case.

Што постављате ове нове пословне објекте, мени то некако не спада у ову категорију, посебно ови које је поставио без_имена ?!

Ne kužim zašto je ljudima Novi Beograd tako ružan. To jest sad možda je, ali kad bi zgrade bile nove, ili barem očuvane, izgledao bi prekrasno. Problem je što se zgrade ne održavaju, a najgore je što ljudi nadograđuju balkone kako im je volja, što je odvratno. Imamo isti problem u (Novom) Zagrebu.

A Novi Beograd izgleda baš zanimljivo, htio bih otići tamo! Ima li koja slika unutrašnjojsti onih stepeničastih zgrada, kako izgledaju stanovi iznutra?

Da prijeđemo na engleski, da nas ceo svet razume:colgate:

Doesn't look so interesting from the inside, I'd expect something slightly more imaginative

Well those are the cheapest commies so I wouldn't expect anything better really

Thanks for sharing. Similar interior is in the Romanian commies.It is the same in every building because all you can see is quadratic room.

Cool! Are all of them identical on the inside or are there differences? For the exterior I notice three different colours and that the one row has a gap in the middle.

Please, stick to blokovi, notably blocks 61, 62, 63, 64 north and 64 south.

Neighboring blocks such as 70, 71, 72, 44 and 45 could be included as well, but please don't put commies from other parts of NB, and certainly not from other parts of city.

(those that don't know what I mean, should refer to this map (http://blokovi.com/mapa.html))

This is just a suggestion as I'm not thread starter, but my impression is that this thread is solely for them.

Anyway, French film crew visited blokove for making of movie Banlieue 13 Ultimatum, so here is just one random video from their making of (if I'm not mistaken), there are a lot of others so you might check it out, it has some great scenery.

Novi Beograd is quite attractive. People who bash it don't seem to view it in the proper context. Not everything can be old style Gothic/Italian/Greek inspired and architecture like what's seen in New Belgrade really was progressive in its day. In fact, there really hasn't been extensive new construction in the world which has been as forward thinking as what was built during the modernist era. And with that being said, what was constructed in Yugoslavia during the '60s-'80s was really some of the best of its kind.

Many of you seem unforgiving of the fact that most communist countries went through hell in the 1990s, few more so than Serbia and Bosnia. Belgrade was also leveled many times over the past century before it became the capital of the new Socialist Yugoslavia, a period during which is was the most liberal city in the federation. The collapse of Yugoslavia saw many population shifts and an influx of many refugees from the countryside, who entered a city and country which was bankrupt. You can judge the intentions of Yugoslavs by the appearance of today's Belgrade as much as you can judge the intentions of Iraqis by the appearance of today's Baghdad, which is to say not at all!

But during Yugoslavia's golden age, an optimistic population transformed what had been for centuries one of Europe's poorest cities to one of the most prosperous and cosmopolitan. You must imagine New Belgrade with properly tended lawns and parks and clean facades to get a real image of what it was supposed to be. Its current appearance is not intentional.

Indeed, growing up in the US, the only places I've seen such progressive architecture in one place has been on college campuses, and it does not compare in terms of scale. This architecture was very different and distinctive when it was new and should be preserved in all parts of the world. I believe more people will come to appreciate it but only after it's too late.

OMG ! How can people live there ?

It grows on you.

I wouldnt say it better than you did. And you have shown more knowledge than most of Belgrade forumers. Well explaned.

It grows on you.

Or you grow in it, so you don't have a choice. :bash:

OMG ! How can people live there ?

Because we are eastern europeans and you have to be from here to understand.Proud to grow up in a place like this, this is how you learn what life is and less you have, more you value.

OMG ! How can people live there ?

Just like they can live in

People seem to forget that commieblocks aren't equivalent of ghettos, commieblocks are ugly, no question about that, but aside from aesthetics it is normal functioning part of city for middle and lower class, it is not gated, there are numerous parks, schools, stores, hospitals, playfields, people walk freely during day and night, there is no rampart crime, streets are clean, boulevards are wide and there is a lot of space...

Just like they can live in

I'd prefer live in the picture that you posted than in New Belgrade. Hopefully I don't live in a commieblock:cheers:

I live in Old Town but New Belgrade is simply amazing, it looks much more futuristic than most of new skyscraper clusters that are being built around the world. I think it has to do something with ideology, in those times people were thrilled about the future and wanted to go there as quickly as they could and now it seems that people are afraid of the future, so we can see that in present day architecture.

very interesting

People seem to forget that commieblocks aren't equivalent of ghettos, commieblocks are ugly, no question about that

Well if they are well maintained there is nothing ugly about most of them, they are simple and sometimes too long but this architecture is almost never tacky, at least not if it's renovated properly modern architecture is quite boxy in general so it shouldn't be a problem.

it is not gated

Unfortunately in Poland some commieblock areas turned into gated communities, it's fashion I guess...

this neighbourhood is just amazing! i think its very beautiful

Commieblocks are ugly, no question about that.

Aesthetics is subjective. As a matter of fact, I like the look of commieblocks, and functionalist and brutalist architecture in general. There are no screaming bright colors (unless the building actually have been painted, and when commieblocks are painted, they are usually painted in hideous bright colors, and then I find it ugly). It all looks like it works. It also has a coolness element to it, as this style is commonly used in science fiction to represent totalitarianism and general grittiness. While this may not be desirable in real life, I find it exciting in fiction.
Basically, commieblocks, functionalist and brutalist buildings make me feel like I am in a dystopian Sci-Fi movie.
