Нови Пазар

Milan Popadic University in Belgrade - Faculty of Philosophy The Introduction to Urban Heritage of Novi Pazar of the Socialistic Period Summary: Novi Pazar experienced a significant urban transformation in the period of Yugoslav socialistic system (1945-1991). Thus, it shared the destiny of numerous cities within the socialistic Yugoslavia. Connected with the future visions, being a subject of present and the experiences of the past, there was a special union of construction factors and we can name it the urban heritage of the socialistic period. Novi Pazar entered the socialistic period with a five century urban tradition. The transformation that happened for a little less than five centuries, changed a lot the heritage urban matrix, and also determined directions and limitations of the future town's development. After the beginning assignments in "reconstruction and construction" ofthe town, urban planned arrangement ofNovi Pazar started in 1954, by suggesting an idea solution of the General Urban Town's Plan, whose author was an urban-engineer Josef Kortus. The General Urban Town's Plan ofNovi Pazar was adopted in 1956 and it would mark the first planned phase in modernisation of the urban structure of Novi Pazar. It is not only the matter of "socialistic ideology® as a driving force of these changes. It is, before all, on global modernisation of cities after World War 11, but the global modernistic trend in Yugoslavia, and thus in Novi Pazar, received a socialistic character. The features of the character were very special, since besides Yugoslav self-government model, Novi Pazar brought local colours and inexhaustible vividness. Finally, the concrete structures, but urban visions that socialistic period left into the heritage, would be a visible layer for a long within the manuscript ofNovi Pazar identity. Key words: Novi Pazar, urbanism, Architecture, socialistic heritage, modernity, 20th century
