Abstract:

The Cold War era created a gap between two opposing ideologies manifested on all social, economic and spatial levels. However, cities and their material expression maintained their significance, acting as valuable ideological resources.The specific position of Yugoslavia during the Cold War shaped the political background in which Belgrade and its planning and architectural scene developed intensive professional activities and international interactions thus overcoming global tensions. Covering the period from 1948 until 1980, this article identifies the main channels of professional exchange and dissemination beyond the constraints of the Iron Curtain, as well as their influence on the production of urban space in Belgrade.

11 The Athens Charter (Charte d’Athènes) is a document about urban planning created by Le Corbusier. Based on the results of the CIAM's conference held in 1933 and the concept of the Radiant City (Ville Radieuse), the ideas presented in the Charter had a significant impact in cities and their planning after World War II.

12 CIAM was founded in 1928 and was active until 1959. During this period, as one of the leading institutions focused on the architecture of the Modern Movement, it organized 11 working congresses. Mumford, E., The CIAM Discourse on Urbanism, 1928–1960 (Cambridge, MA, 2000)Google Scholar.

59 Branko Petričić, the architect who designed Blocks 1 and 2, also worked in Le Corbusier's office, which helps explain his approach. During 1958, Petričić was the director of the Town Planning Institute of Belgrade where he conducted the work on the Master Plan of New Belgrade and the revision of the Master Plan of Belgrade. Curiously enough, he was also the architect of the Trade Union Hall (1947–55), the only building in Belgrade completely designed in the style of Socialist Realism.

60 The architects of the plan for Block 21, who were also in charge of the Plan of the central zone of New Belgrade in 1960, were Uroš Martinović, Milutin Glavički, Leonid Lenarčič and Dušan Milenković and Miloslav Mitić.
