Civic & Social Organization - Belgrade, , Serbia
Institute for Urban Politics (IUP) conducts research and analyses, develops policies, supports communities and runs educational programs in the field of democratic development of cities. It was formed in 2011 as an informal activist collective Ministry of Space that strives to activate different unused spaces through direct action and/or municipal negotiations. Further actions evolved into a national campaign advocating for regulation of public property management to be more transparent and consistent with the common interest of citizens. Parallel to that, other programs were developed, expanding organizational mission to encourage and foster citizens' participation and mobilization in defining public interest in urban and spatial planning and urban resource management. In the last five years, the organization supported numerous groups to oppose and reverse officially proposed modifications of urban plans of their neighborhoods against the needs of its members. It also initiated, organized and led multiple bottom-up struggles that address specific urban development or common management of public goods.
