THE CASE STUDY "FISHERMAN ISLAND" AND “CHINESE QUARTER” OF NOVI SAD 

Fisherman Island- Chinese quarter (243 ha)
The case study area is located at the Danube and comprises an old industrial area of Novi Sad and the Fisherman Island (recreational zone).
In recent years, the old industrial zone, known as Chinese quarter because Chinese shop owners in 1990s used the old sheds as store houses, is being transformed to artistic and night industry area.
The Chinese quarter is located in between a park and the Danube, and in vicinity of the biggest housing area in Novi Sad (Liman) with some 55.000 inhabitants.
Land and buildings are owned by the city council.
On the western part of the quarter a military (river) marines base is placed (in the process of being exchanged for the other location within the city boundaries).
The Fisherman Island is a green (forest) area planned for recreation, camping site and free time zone.

REQUEST 1
The participation form with all the relevant information about the recommended hotels will be downloadable on the iii website by the end of January 2012 and should be filled in and submitted before 1st  of  March 2012. 

In this invitation we focus on the programme itself in more detail and on some remaining issues that have to be in place to make sure the Novi Sad Implementation Lab will run smoothly.
Most important in this respect are the reference cases that participants are invited to present on the first day of the workshop. The idea is to present cases that bear relevance to the Novi Sad Fishermans Island / Chinese quarter case study area development, where multifunctional development concepts play a role and as before planning processes involving different stakeholders are problems that have to be dealt with.

REQUEST 2
Every participants is invited to present in 10 power point sheets, a case from their own city or region regarding the ways your city or region prepares multifunctional area developments These experiences could be helpful as input for the brainstorm workshop on the second day.

REQUEST 3
Every participant is requested to (preferably) send in or else bring in hard copy an updated short CV.


We are looking forward working with you on the interesting case that the City of Novi Sad has brought up for the fourth CUPA Implementation Lab Workshop, and expect the submiitence of your participation form shortly.

We are looking forward meeting you in Novi Sad.

Kind regards

On behalf of Tina Vienna and the Donauhanse league and the City of Vienna
