1. Cluster of dwellings, in the immediate proximity of the location the photo was taken from 2. Mass housing buildings, farthest from the location the photo was taken 3. Parts of an industrial building heritage, in between the typologies previously described Since the photo doesn’t provide us with the complete context information, further clarification of surrounding urban context is needed. Namely, the photo was taken within the industrial area of the Port of Belgrade, which is placed along the Danube river, one of the Europe’s busiest river traffic corridors. At the time of the completion of the port construction process (1957), it was located on the outskirts of the city, but now it takes a 10 minute walk from the very center of Belgrade. Through the privatization of former company, Port of Belgrade, current owner has obtained a possession of pretty valuable and exclusive city territory. Further land subdivision followed and lead to renting of parceled plots and industrial buildings to small businesses and companies, which, together with the prior collective ownership, has allowed for self built dwellings (pictured) to survive, or even (re)emerge. The invisible information that plays slightly more important role than the historical or political facts (stated above), and are thus more of our concern, are the ones regarding the following phenomena: 1. Restructuring of postindustrial economy and its direct influence on urban fabric transformation 2. Influence of “fortress city (areas)” on restructured social mosaic (and urban fabric transformation) Visualizing these invisible information could lead to resolving emerged social and economic polarizations and inequalities, whether achieved through the advancement of legal frameworks or direct spatial interventions, or even both. ![Port of Belgrade][1] [1]: https://edxuploads.s3.amazonaws.com/14137415096878937.jpg
