“Urban Plans for Substandard Roma Settlements” provides an overview of 13 urban plans in 11 pilot municipalities, developed through the project of European Assistance to Roma Inclusion. Urban plans are a necessary first step in the process of improving the living conditions in substandard Roma settlements, providing a basis for any future intervention – regularization of settlement, construction of infrastructure, improvement and legalization of housing units. Plans were developed by local urban planning institutes and directorates, having a full participation of local resident communities and preservation of existing land-use and housing as main priorities. The publication is bilingual: in English and Serbian languages.
