The Physical Planning Information System was introduced in 2013 as the Croatian central physical planning point. It consists of a publicly accessible geoportal and a variety of modules, which are separate custom-made web applications for entering, uploading and editing alphanumeric and/or georeferenced graphic data by authorized users. Each module, such as eDozvola (ePermit), ePlanovi (ePlans), eNekretnine (eProperties) and a few others, supplemented by submodules in some cases, deals with specific tasks and processes in accordance with the regulations in the field of construction, physical planning, property appraisal, etc. In this paper we will present the concept of the information system as a whole, briefly review the functionalities of the recently redesigned geoportal, as well as some of the key modules, with an emphasis on the eKatalog (eCatalogue) module, which serves as a platform for discovery of spatial plans in force and other kinds of documents relevant for physical planning (i.e. territorial monitoring reports, scientific and expert papers, sectorial documents, etc.) by means of INSPIRE-compliant and custom metadata, and for publishing spatial plans and documents on the geoportal so as to make them available to the general public. Plans for the future development of the information system will also be outlined.

Changes in the social and cultural pattern have led to some changes in the forms of rural housing. Especially in the post-war period, more precisely 70’s and 80’s of the twentieth century, which represents the research timeframe. One of the main reasons for this is certainly the process of post-war intensive industrialization, while the other lies in the need to improve the basic amenities and services of the settlement. The paper describes the collective housing in rural areas built in Serbia as a former republic of socialist Yugoslavia. Collective housing in the countryside appears to be a real need for working class accommodation employed in industrial plants as well as housing for government officials and workers of public institutions (post office, police, schools, etc.). The archi tecture of these buildings, on the other hand, did not possess the features of regional and traditional architectural values. It belonged to a different practice embodied in the values of socialist ideology. It should also be added that the construction of such buildings was not characteristic for all forms of rural settlements. These were predominantly rural settlements of higher category which had well established centers and other elements of urban structure as well as solid demographic potential. In this sense, the research seeks to point out some relevant specifics of such construction on the one hand, and on the other to point out some of the possibilities for future spatial and functional organization of rural settlements.

In order to influence the design agenda locally in the city of Skopje the municipalities have adopted a range of strategies, standards, guidelines and control practices for quality public spaces which in many cases accommodate ‘generic’ and ‘globalized’ design principles and are not always appropriate to the local context and peculiarities. For better understanding the requirements of the different public realm spaces and guiding local communities’ decisions on future responsive planning solutions it was necessary to structure proper public realm typologies created for a locally recognised purpose and based on criteria relevant to that purpose. At this juncture, although broad comparisons across extremely diverse spatial classifications and versatile framework are made, we primarily refer to one of the most recent international definitions in this area which is offered by The Charter of Public Space, while the valuation to the analysis and findings presented in the Public Space Profile for the city of Skopje, a study which was supported by the UN Habitat (Enhanced Right to the City for All) as a brief overview of the current practices of public space development and management in Skopje. The presented study was focused on understanding and analysis of the existing system of public spaces in Skopje in relation with relevant municipalities and local peculiarities. In-depths analysis has been performed on selected public spaces with focus on selected indicators through a combination of cadastre maps, city and municipal GIS platforms and site visiting. Definition of urban public space, of quantitative and qualitative indicators relevant to public space and the methodology for measuring of the quantitative and qualitative parameters of public spaces in Skopje has been performed relevant to the SDG 11.7 developed by UN Habitat (Target 11.7: By 2030, provide universal access to safe, inclusive and accessible, green and public spaces, in particular for women and children, older persons and persons with disabilities) and site analysis. The results and the findings from the research are supported by a set of recommendations, which provide solid basis for future discussions and improved urban policy on public space development and management.

The aim of the paper is to provide an insight of how the economic factor has influenced the urban structure and the urban form of Erbil city in northern Iraq. The escalation of urbanization in the past few decades resulted in dramatic increase of population. Moreover, after the Iraq War in 2003, the oil revenue helped the economic growth in the country especially in Erbil which was in a high security situation that attracted investors and individuals. The growth of economy in the city associated with growth of population, and it influenced the transformation of land use, transportation and real estates. The economic force was behind the increase in demand for land, densities, building heights as well as the change in land uses. Thus, all these factors collectively shaped structure of the city in a way that reflect the change of the economic growth of the city. New highway roads, new residential neighbourhoods have been constructed and high-rise buildings can be seen almost every were in the city. Yet, a prosperous city is not the one with higher economic growth, but the one, alongside with economic growth, provides the inhabitants with a better place to live in. Without a clear planning vision and well-prepared regulations, the economic factor (cost-benefit) will take the control of transforming the urban area of the city without consideration to the sustainability aspects. Here comes the institutional role, regulations and municipalities, to guide the investments and future developments to the right direction that serve the prosperity of the city.

Environmental sustainability has become a core objective in policy fields related to the built environment, from the international to local level. The transition to a sustainable built environment depends on increasing the energy performance of buildings, but due to the maturity of the building stock in Europe affecting energy efficiency and the current incentives for investing in sustainable energy solutions, the performance of buildings cannot be improved without widespread citizen engagement. Technical solutions for upgrading smart buildings and connecting them are being developed that create new opportunities for achieving a net-zero or even positive energy balance on the neighbourhood, district and city level. Nevertheless, attention must also be paid to the social aspect using citizen engagement to ensure that such solutions are taken up and replicated. From a social perspective, new skills and values are needed amongst citizens to improve individual and collective behaviours. Co-creation is an approach for shaping the urban environment that includes a wide range of stakeholders and is believed to lead to improved outcomes, especially with regard to integrating users’ needs and generating a sense of shared responsibility and ownership over the built environment. The Horizon 2020 project +CityxChange uses co-creation for the development of positive energy districts (PEDs), which have the potential to bring carbon neutral cities to reality. The paper explores several aspects of citizen engagement developed in the project: an urban innovation lab approach, a citizen participation playbook, learning framework for the next generation of smart citizens, and framework for creating positive energy champions.

As the general concept of living on water in Serbia has not moved far from raft-type floating structures, the idea about urban development and activation of river courses, changing spatial-physical, economic, technological and modern sociological needs of living has to be changed and incorporated in the tendencies of modern architectural designing. Floating buildings, as architectural structures, are based on the principle of floatability, with flexible installations i.e. the system cannot sink as it can move with the fluctuation of water levels. Development and use of floating structures in large European cities as a new tendency in architecture could be the basis for defining the principle and technologies for construction of floating buildings in architectural designing and mapping of attractive locations for the referent model in Serbia. This research deals with the possibilities of developing the practice of designing floating structures in Serbia in terms of construction technology and energy performances. The objective of this paper is to explain the principles and technologies in construction of floating buildings as the key parameters in architectural designing of such structures on water areas in Serbia. This paper offers a concept of floating buildings on river courses and other water areas that could be applied in Serbia and which would be based on systematisation of data about already constructed floating buildings in Europe.

The design process of traditional urban fabric historically relied entirely on manual drawing techniques. Recent advances in digital design technology, including 3D modelling and light ray tracing, have unlocked several useful new techniques that can be harnessed to augment specific aspects of the design process of traditional urban building types. The paper examines 3 primary methods: 1. Seamless movement between orthographic and perspective views. Traditional designs strive for logical plan arrangements which, once built, are experienced in three-dimensions. Advances in digital modelling technology now allow designs to be quickly modelled and then easily viewed from a variety of angles, for improved evaluation of proposed forms during the iterative development of design ideas. 2. Accurate simulation of shadow shapes and light effects. Traditional urban architecture depends on careful composition of shadow shapes to expressively subdivide and articulate building masses. Digital 3D modelling and light ray tracing software allow building mouldings, projections and other sculptural forms to be quickly and efficiently modelled and instantly tested accurately in a variety of simulated lighting conditions, improving visual feedback in the design process to facilitate more rapid and effective design iterations. 3. Visualization of design proposals at a variety of distances. Traditional urban buildings are specifically designed to be viewed from a number of different distances. Smaller order compositions are nested within larger order compositions. Larger order compositions are designed to be viewed from greater distances, smaller order compositions from closer distances. Advances in digital 3D modelling and light ray tracing software allow views of designs to be accurately simulated at a variety of distances, thus helping to facilitate well-composed nested compositions. The paper then examines a variety of potential disadvantages of current digital design platforms in the design of traditional urban buildings and concludes with suggestions for how they can be rectified to improve future outcomes.
