The main basis for Belgrade entering the 100 RC program were the catastrophic floods in 2014, in combination with a wider context of prolonged economic, social and political instability, and an emerging migrant crisis. But our aims actually extend further. We wanted to check and measure ourselves, to be a part of the network and to learn from it. We wanted the citizens to join this work and be inspired by it. We wanted to show the complexities of this city, to be reminded of its finer qualities, to highlight its great potential to overcome the hindrances and to invite broader participation in the city-making process. This is the first time in our history that a strategy is developed not just by experts, but as a common action of the city and the citizens.
