There is global interest in the smart city, not only as an operational concept, but also as a funding mechanism of the EU Cohesion Policy, joint programs, projects and initiatives. According to the EU Commission, a smart city is a place where traditional networks and services are made more efficient with the use of digital and communication technologies, for the benefit of its inhabitants and business. Urban governance, as an instrument of integrated urban development, has an important role as a decentralization criterion in improving the smart city?s performance in more developed countries and regions. At the same time, the countries of Southeast Europe that are not members of the EU (including Serbia) are lagging in this matter. Taken that the application of urban governance in the context of a smart city can be seen as a practical novelty in Serbia, this paper presents and discusses the existing state of the art in this field. The findings presented were derived from collaborative engagement within the INTERREG project CLEVER - Co-designing Smart Local Solutions for Exploiting Values and Enhancing Resilience, during 2018/2019.

Given that mankind has occasionally been exposed to the devastation of catastrophic proportions throughout its history (extreme weather events, natural dis-asters, bioterrorism, and pandemics are having an increased global impact), which are increasing in the 20th century due to climate change, the risk reduction measures are being taken at the global level to reduce the severity of the consequences. Natural and technological disasters in the European countries have caused significant loss of life and damage to structures and infrastructure, which has led to the ratification of conventions at the world level in the field of disaster preparedness (Hyogo Framework for Action and Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Management). Hospitals and other healthcare facilities are amongst those most jeopardized. The paper gives an overview of the methodology in the field of defining the resilience of healthcare facilities through determining the hospital safety index. Through the application of this and other methodologies in a case study conducted in Serbia, the paper examines the direct correlations between hospital safety index and climate change. Paper gives the results of hospital safety index calculation considering modules 2-4 and possibilities for the potential use of the module 1 (research on hazards) in separate evaluation.

Natural disasters are increasingly causing damage or devastation of the settlements. In recent years, the number and intensity of natural hazards in Serbia has increased. As a result, there is a growing need for temporary accommodation of the vulnerable population. The paper through the survey, conducted in the period from April to June 2017, examines the characteristics of the housing in which the surveyed population currently live and their view regarding the temporary accommodation. The first survey (60 surveyed residents from the territory of Serbia) deals with the population who were in temporary accommodation and potentially vulnerable population which were not. Simultaneously paper conducted a survey of representatives of 11 organizations involved in the issue of temporary accommodation (NGOs, humanitarian and development organizations and academic institutions). The analysis of the results of the conducted surveys shows the differences in the current accommodation in which the population live and the one in which they would like to be or they were after disaster. Discussion of the obtained results highlights the importance of the spatial elements such as window surfaces, living area, existence of additional spaces etc. The result of this paper is to determine the opinions and desires of the vulnerable population and to set directions and recommendations for future research. The quality of temporary housing can contribute to the normalization of life activities that result in improved social and housing conditions and a sense of belonging to the community, not marginalization and social exclusion.

Urban governance initiatives increasingly reflect cities’ engagement with external partners, resources, knowledge, and expertise to address challenge

The period of the 20th century is characterized by a large number of social changes, the development of industry, as well as changes in the structure of the traditional family. In addition, one of the major drivers of the need for new housing is the wartime destruction in Europe during two world wars. Significant housing shortage resulted in Mass housing development. This paper recognizes three different periods of development of multi-family housing, as a result of different changes during the 20th century. The first period represents the period after the First world war from the 1920s to the 1930s, the second period features industry involvement in housing around and after the Second world war from the 1930s to the 1950s and the third period centers around changes in spatial and cultural sphere of housing from the 1950s to the 1980s. Each time period is characterized by the progress or evolution of both problems that motivate the development of multi-family housing and innovative solutions for multi-family housing. Paper analyses three examples of built buildings from each time period. Each example is in a certain way an experimental architecture from its time and is distinguished by specific qualities and aspirations especially in the design of common areas of these buildings. The paper through selected examples of multi-family housing researches spatial manifestation of social and other changes. The focus of the analysis of the chosen buildings is on common areas, while the space of the dwelling is not subject to detail analysis. Each of the three periods is characterized by high innovation and an indication that multi-family housing can respond to requests and manifest new different ideas.

During the implementation of the international project "NONA – New Government for New SpAces" several actions were designed as part of the concretization of the project idea and the realization of the project task. The overall project objective is to develop a governance model for integrating green investments into sustainable urban development. Cooperation between the public, private, and civil sectors enhances institutional capacities. It encourages the implementation of financing instruments for urban development, respecting the principles of a green and fair economy. The selected pilot location in Serbia is the area of "Letnjikovac" in Šabac. The specific goal is to arrange and improve the pilot site in terms of environmental protection and sustainability, education, promotion of science and knowledge, and intergenerational cooperation, and at the same time to inspire stakeholders for future endeavors, to form a local interest community that would carry out further arrangement and equipping of the space, with regular maintenance. Some of the implemented initiatives are survey for the general public and the announcement of an artistic, fine art, and literary competition on the topic "Summer House of the Future - What kind of Summer House I want for all of us".
