This is planned in a report for early public evaluation of amendments and additions to the plan for detailed regulation of the part of Makisko Polje between Nova 32 and Nova 30 streets, in the territory of the Belgrade municipality of Cukarica.

In mid-June, the Secretariat for Urbanism and Construction Affairs of the City of Belgrade announced the early public evaluation of the planning document, which will last until July 3, after which any objections from citizens and the professional public will be considered.

The scope of the plan covers more than 160,000 square meters, that is, about 16 hectares of land, while a completely new urban block will be able to accommodate about 6,280 residents.

According to the planning documents, up to 12 stories tall multi-family residential buildings will be built in the zone marked M4, along with business facilities on the ground floors and in some parts of the complex.

Special attention is paid to the support infrastructure. The plan is to build a preschool for 270 children, as well as a primary school for 960 students, which would give the new settlement a complete education infrastructure already in the first stages of its development.

In addition, the project envisages new roads, water and sewerage networks, power and telecommunications infrastructure, as well as systems to tackle groundwater, which represent one of the biggest challenges in this area of Belgrade.

Metro is changing Makis

One of the most important parts of the project is the construction of the main depot of the first line of the Belgrade Metro, which will be located in Makisko Polje.

The Ministry of Construction, Transport and Infrastructure has already issued a temporary construction permit to the company Beogradski Metro i Voz ("Belgrade Metro and Train") in order to put up a temporary fence for the future depot complex.

The value of these initial works is estimated at more than 54 million dinars, minus VAT.

The depot will represent the central operational center of the first metro line, where maintenance, servicing and parking of trains will be carried out, and experts consider it one of the key facilities without which the future metro system will not be able to function.

Makis is becoming Belgrade's new development center

In recent years, the Makisko Polje area has been among the most important development zones of the capital. In addition to the planned metro construction, this part of Belgrade is also connected to the future expansion of the city towards the southwest, as well as to large infrastructure projects in the area, including the development of the traffic network and access to new city boulevards.

The plan envisages the formation of a mixed purpose city center covering an area of ​​almost nine hectares, while an additional two hectares will used for an educational campus with a school and a kindergarten.

Urban planners point out that the goal is to activate the currently unused construction land, increase Belgrade's housing capacity, develop new business facilities and improve communal infrastructure.

This project is part of a broader strategy for the development of the Serbian capital, where Makis should be one of the most important new urban areas of Belgrade, with modern traffic connections, public amenities and direct reliance on the future metro network.
