Corporate social responsibility in the mining industry: Evidence from Boliden Tara Mines, Ireland
Purpose While corporate social responsibility (CSR) is recognised as a value-creating mechanism in the mining industry, there is limited understanding of how local managers shape CSR activities of multinational mining companies in host regions. The purpose of this study is to examine CSR practices at Boliden Tara Mines in Navan, Ireland, to understand how local management influences CSR implementation and impacts relationships with local communit…
Peripheral financialisation: Housing transformation in post-socialist Serbia (1990s-2020s)
The paper explores the evolution and specificities of housing financialisation in Serbia, a context often overlooked in comparative housing research. While global and Central and Eastern European (CEE) scholarship has extensively addressed the financialisation of housing, Serbia remains underexamined, with existing literature limited to fragmented analyses of housing policy, urban development, or the impact of foreign-indexed loans. As a post-soc…
Plan follows project: Legislative reform in Serbia and Ireland under the guises of flexibility and certainty
This paper examines recent planning law reforms in Serbia and Ireland as countries with contrasting planning traditions but shared exposure to neoliberal development pressures. While reforms were justified as responses to systemic rigidity (in Serbia) and investor uncertainty (in Ireland), the analysis reveals a shared systemic tendency towards accommodation of private development interests at the expense of public planning objectives. Both count…
Culturised planning practices in urban megaproject development: The case of Lincoln Yards in Chicago
Regardless of the socio-spatial setting, urban megaprojects exhibit similar features, such as architectural and urban design that neglects place identity, on the one hand, and economic actors seeking exceptional local deregulation mechanisms, on the other. As dominant developers tend to override the concerns of local authorities, citizens, and planning professionals, a multitude of conflicting interests is entrenched in any large-scale developmen…
Toward a Holistic Planning Culture Framework: Integrating Individual, Collective, and Societal Dimensions
Planning culture scholarship has evolved significantly over six decades, yet fundamental analytical tensions persist: between systematic comparison and contextual specificity, between structural determinism and agential capacity, and between cultural continuity and institutional change. Existing frameworks, particularly the influential Culturised Planning Model, struggle to address these tensions because they inadvertently reproduce the structure…
The financialisation of contemporary urban planning policy discourse: Insights into Serbian and Irish planning legislation
While existing literature highlights the role of private real estate interests in shaping urban policy agendas, few studies have examined formal changes in planning legislation as a key site of influence. This paper investigates planning legislation reforms in Serbia and Ireland as illustrative cases of a broader trend of reducing investment risks and enhancing the financial viability of real estate development. Employing critical and context-sen…
Urban Planning Across Europe: Insights into Planning Cultures of Switzerland, Greece, and Serbia
The research explores the planning cultures in three distinct European contexts: Solothurn (Switzerland), Patras (Greece), and Belgrade (Serbia). Grounded in the conceptual framework of planning culture, which posits that spatial planning practices are deeply influenced by societal, institutional, and professional contexts, the analysis examines three key dimensions: social setting, planning process, and planning environment. The multiple case st…
Female Body and Trauma in New Neapolitan Cinema
This article presents a detailed analysis of Mario Martone's 1995 L'amore molesto (Troubling Love) and Antonio Capuano's 2010 L'amore buio (Dark Love), two films directed by prominent members of the new generation of Neapolitan filmmakers that emerged in the 1990s. Both films feature female protagonists who have suffered from gender-specific abuse. The two films show a step forward in terms of the representation of sexual trauma from a female per…
Action-oriented planning methods as a tool for improving regional governance in Switzerland: Evidence from the Sisslerfeld area
Faced with challenges such as rapid transformation of existing settlements, reorganisation of mobility patterns, and climate change mitigation management, the governance of spatial development in Switzerland demands institutional and procedural innovations, particularly noticeable at the regional scale. Although cantons, the middle-governmental tier between the federal and communal authorities (municipalities), play a coordinating role supported …

Cooperative planning under pro-development urban agenda? A collage of densification practices in Zurich, Switzerland
Like in many cities and regions worldwide, densification is the current urban development paradigm in Switzerland. Although considered one of the main policy mechanisms for sustainable land use, densification strategies are mainly employed by the private sector, causing adverse social effects. Additionally, profit-oriented urban planning challenges the traditionally exercised norm of cooperative planning. By analysing multiple case studies of den…
The Diffusion of Participatory Planning Ideas and Practices: The Case of Socialist Yugoslavia, 1961-1982
Although both praised and contested for its advanced conceptual elaboration and ineffective practical implementation, respectively, participatory planning has largely been considered a Yugoslav national legacy and a point of diversification compared with other similar contexts. However, there has been little research on the roots and features of public participation as observed through the lens of international influences on Yugoslav spatial and …
The financialization of “the urban” in the post-socialist Serbia: Evidence from the Belgrade Waterfront megaproject
As a leading mechanism of the global neoliberal paradigm, financialization plays a significant role in the growth of economies and changes in urban development patterns. Though particularly significant for post-socialist European countries, research on urban financialization considering both eco-nomic (rental income, property sales, interest rates) and noneconomic aspects (social dynamics, social and legal norms, financialized discourses) is yet …
Who Plans What for Whom Under the “Iron Law” of Megaprojects? The Discourse Analysis of the Belgrade Waterfront Project
Urban megaprojects exhibit various distortions: special regulations, budget overrun, additional funding sources, long-term timeframes, and ad-hoc actor networks. Coping with such challenges seems to be demanding even for the welfare states and advanced democracies built upon the governmental control of megaproject development. Therefore, it is interesting to observe the nature of urban governance of megaproject development in a transitional socie…
Squandering the territorial capital in the Balkans? Urban megaprojects between global trends and local incentives
Throughout its history, but also squeezed between the current challenges of globalisation and sovereignty, the Balkans has been confronted with a number of different political, economic, environmental, and cultural problems. Such a complex social framework inevitably implies spatial degradation, not only in terms of the urban forms as the final planning product, but also in terms of the nature of the planning process and urban governance. Notably…
Post-socialist discourse of urban megaproject development: From City on the Water to Belgrade Waterfront
As many as twenty years after the overthrow of its authoritarian political regime, Serbia remains a ‘proto-democracy’, supported by the economic ideology of wild neoliberalism. Under such circumstances, urban development is subject to various abuses, such as the misapplication of legal procedures, neglect of the public interest, and politicisation of planning. In particular, urban megaprojects exhibit various distortions, as they require special …

The regeneration of military brownfields in Serbia: Moving towards deliberative planning practice
This paper investigates the regeneration process of military brownfields in Serbia through the lens of a deliberative planning approach. The topic is important for Serbia as a proto-democratic society where brownfield regeneration follows market rules, thus neglecting the interests of other actors. However, military brownfields are considered an exception in this regard as the starting point for their revitalisation is agreement between public in…
Public engagement under authoritarian entrepreneurialism: The Belgrade Waterfront project
Urban megaprojects as a spatial manifestation of neoliberalism are in transitional societies considered a tool for extra-profit for private developers and a source of great corruption among the high-level public authorities. Consequently, such a relationship has negative effects on socio-spatial reality. The paper illustrates how a large-scale unitary project – the Belgrade Waterfront project – jeopardizes the public participation through: the mi…

The Representatives of Social Action in Waterfront Regeneration - the Case of the Brownfield Site “Belgrade Port”
Brownfield regeneration is one of the sustainable development mechanisms, and therefore at the peak of popularity in recent decades. This refers to the experience of Western Europe, but the tendency of brownfield regeneration is present in post-socialist countries as well. However, in the transition period multiple actor interests are often impossible to reconcile and that is the main feature of the mentioned mechanism. It is precisely the great …
Identifying Students’ Information Needs in the Era of Information and Communication Technologies: Is Serbia on the Threshold of Change
The paper presents the use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in teaching and for research purposes at the Faculty of Architecture, University of Belgrade. The aim is to consider opportunities and representation of ICT use for the promotion of architectural education, and ways to overcome current barriers when using ICT as well. After giving a short review of the history of ICT, the current status and the level of ICT implementa…
