City that is bigger and bigger every day!
About 100 ago, Belgrade was small trade center, and capital, with 80,000 inhabitants. Since Serbian population mostly lived in villages, cities couldn't be so big.
Before World war 2, 80% of Serbs lived in villages, after it when communism and heavy industrialism came, 80% of Serbs moved to cities, so they grew very very fast. So did Belgrade, it practically ate surrounding settlements like Ovcha, Borcha and others.
When Belgrade became Yugoslav capital, factories, trade stations, Nikola Tesla, airport, roads were built.
Migrations to Belgrade from all over Balkans started, mostly from Yugoslavian peripheral areas, like mountains.
Education in all socialistic states was on high level, so was in Belgrade. Serbian Academy of Arts and Sciences and Belgrade University are highly prestigious universities. In Belgrade university students from around the world were coming to study.
Atelje 212 (Атеље 212) is a theatre in Belgrade, biggest in whole ex-yu, so you can imagine how cultural level was high.It was funded in 1956.

City soon had about million inhabitants, and it needed more houses and all other sorts of buildings for people to live and for work.
In that moment, starts biggest expansion of Belgrade - building new part of city across the other side of the Sava river - New Belgrade.(Also known as Blocks)
There are over 70 blocks, and last constructions were over in 1947.This is today most populous municipality in city.
Fast development, planned building and of course a lots of people made this part of city so important today.
Today we have many shoppping malls such as "Delta City" and "Usce" where you can find all popular brands like Nike, Adidas, Gucci, Armani, Samsung, Sony, Apple...
These shopping malls are huge, Usce shopping mall for example is on 4 floors and has a part for dinning, entertainment, shopping, car parking and many other features.
