The purpose of this report is to exploreopportunities to better integrate land use and publictransit planning in Belgrade. Specifically, the aim is todevelop an approach toward Transit-Oriented Development(TOD) for Belgrade building off the city’s recently approvedTransport Master Plan (2017). The Transport Master Plan,which is to be implemented over the next 16 years(through2033), includes all modes of transport: automobiles,public buses, trams, metro, and commuterrail service (knownas BG Voz). The required total investment is estimated to beover 400 millioneuros excluding the metro project. Thus,implementation will require large sums of money forbothcapital and operational expenses, while the city haslimited financing resources. Given the fiscalconstraints, itwould be prudent for Belgrade city authorities to exploreself-financing projectschemes for urban transit and landdevelopment, incorporating land value capture (LVC).Thisreport evaluates the Transport Master Plan together withother available data to find ways to realize TOD and LVC inBelgrade, including identifying current gaps in knowledgetowards such a goal. There are several large-scale,long-term urban development projects envisaged for Belgradesuch as development of the Makis Polje area and WaterfrontRailway Yard Conversion Project and theWaterfront. TheTransport Master Plan considers these developments as agiven. The projected future populations in these sites serveas the base to model future traffic demand, and to evaluatethe proposed transport investment projects. The TransportMaster Plan recognizes the need for detailed planning andeconomic verification of these urban development schemes.
