Abstract

The paper deals with the research of the concept of the General City Centre, which is in the General Urban Plan of Novi Sad for 2030, with the aim of improving the quality of life in the city. It also analyses the insufficiently defined phenomenon of the General City Centre, which envisages residential development with minimal business content, leaving room for investor urbanism. The design work focuses on the settlement of Jugovićevo, which is being developed without a clearly defined framework. As a solution, it is proposed to form a city-wide network of super-efficient transport that would connect settlements and improve the quality of life, clearly defining purposes, capacities and architectural expression. A network of super-efficient transport would reduce pollution and increase transport speeds, representing the first step towards an environmentally conscious city.
