Expo 2027 Legacy: Is Belgrade Building the Future or Just Dreaming?
Belgrade is gearing up for Expo 2027, and chief architect Danilo Dangubić promises a revolution! This is not just an event but an idea meant to last forever. But is it really possible or just another big story?
What is Expo 2027?
Expo 2027 in Belgrade is not just a moment but a lasting idea. The plan is to transform the exhibition space in Surčin into a vibrant urban quarter with schools, kindergartens, sports, and cultural centers across Serbia after the event closes. Imagine pavilions that can be dismantled and reassembled as schools and sports centers!
Sustainable city or a dream of sustainability?
Sustainability is the core of the project. Roofs will be green with native plants that require no irrigation. Materials will be recycled, and energy efficiency and biodiversity preservation are standards, not options.
What about the laws?
The government has started amending laws to clarify the management of the Expo complex. State Secretary Slavica Savičić emphasizes that management will be clearly defined, including commercial and non-commercial activities.
Is it all rosy?
Though it sounds like a fairy tale, many wonder if it will really happen. Similar projects worldwide often remain on paper or turn into expensive ruins. But Belgrade claims it will be the first Expo in history with 100% post-exhibition use of space.
Why does it matter?
Expo 2027 could be a turning point for Belgrade and Serbia’s development. With 22 new sports halls, 43% more oxygen in classrooms, and new parks, the city could become a model of sustainable urban development.
Conclusion
Belgrade is betting on Expo 2027 as a chance for a new urban identity and sustainable future. Will it be reality or just another dream? Time will tell, but one thing is sure — the story is already spectacular and worth following.
So, what do you think? Believe in this dream or think it’s just another big story? Drop a comment and let’s see who’s the optimist and who’s the skeptic!
