Short Outline
The city of Bar, as a multicultural city in the Balkan region as well as a major seaport of Serbia and Montenegro, is faced with socio-economic challenges to develop an urban environment based on the local perception of the emerging global strategies.
Abstract
The last decade of the 20th century brought drastically changes in Serbia and Montenegro caused by political and economical problems. Civil wars and the isolation from the European and the global scene were some of factors that undermine their development. Now it is necessary to find solutions to the existing urban environmental problems inherited from the previous government and make a transition to a new system. Bar, a major seaport for Serbia and Montenegro, is an example of post-socialistic urban region where the consequences of the decade long isolation are apparent. Bar is a multicultural city, recognized as a one of the most important economic region that has faced challenges due to modernization and uncontrolled urban growth. This paper will present how the city of Bar faced with socio-economic changes can develop its urban environment based on the local perception of the emerging global strategies.
