CONSTRUCTION OF THE EXPO 2027 COMPLEX HAS STARTED

Work on the construction of the EXPO 2027 complex, which is located south of the National Football Stadium, between the Belgrade ring road and the Miloš Veliki highway, has already begun, confirmed Marko Stojčić, the city's chief urban planner. More precisely, the terrain was cleared and the construction of the traffic infrastructure began.

"Some access roads have already been built, some are under construction. Basically, it's a five-year job. What follows is further clearing and filling of the ground, since the level on which the facilities will be built, that is, the National Stadium complex, the future fairground and the area where the EXPO will be held, needs to be raised," explained Stojčić.

ENERGY EFFICIENT AND SUSTAINABLE BUILDINGS

As part of the EXPO 2027 complex, the construction of seven buildings on approximately 70,000 square meters is planned. The initial project is signed by the Spanish architectural studio Fenwick Iribarren Architects, which is the author of the reconstruction of the Sava Square in Belgrade, and what follows is the further development of the project and possible changes in accordance with the received suggestions.
Between all these buildings, there will be a large promenade with cafes, restaurants, and installations, which will be located in that outer space, and all of which should later serve as perhaps the most important fair space in the Balkans. Stojčić mentioned that the goal is for the facilities to be energy-efficient and sustainable and to be used even after the big event, since it happened that such complexes died after the exhibition.
In essence, the EXPO 2027 complex is planned as a multifunctional space, which after the exhibition should grow into an important economic and tourist center for the city of Belgrade and the Republic of Serbia.

"We agreed on an agreement based on which they will provide us with professional and technical support for the organization of new PKS services for this exhibition." Bearing in mind the extensive experience and the role of the Dubai Chamber in the organization of EXPO 2020 Dubai, we will try to learn as much as possible," said Chadez.

EXPO 2027 in Belgrade is expected to be visited by around three million people. The total estimated economic effect of EXPO 2027 is EUR 1.1 billion (estimated direct economic effect EUR 600 million, estimated indirect economic effect EUR 500 million and estimated net profit EUR 9.82 million).

THE FIRST EXPO IN SOUTHEASTERN EUROPE AFTER 30 YEARS

According to his words, we have enough time, but we will not waste it, because the realization of this big project, which will bring our country an influx of money, investments, further development of tourism, catering, new jobs for our economy, new jobs, has started immediately.

PROMENADE AND CENTRAL SQUARE

The seven main buildings of the fairgrounds will be located next to each other along the central promenade. The planned width of the promenade is 40 m, and it widens to 60 m to create a central square in front of the main entrance building. It is planned that the promenade will be decorated with greenery and that a water channel will flow through it, rest areas and pop-up kiosks will be planned, which will facilitate movement between the halls.

The individual halls will be connected by a 30 m wide corridor at the back, which enables communication between them. Between the halls and next to the main promenade there will be smaller, more intimate outdoor landscaped squares that provide pleasant, terraced areas for food and drink offerings.

Along the central promenade, there will be supporting facilities and facilities on the first floor (meeting rooms, etc.), which will be connected by bridges across the central promenade. All halls will be serviced from the rear via the service ring, with small warehouses and workshops.

Suitable external decorated and adapted spaces are planned around the circular path, for the organization of a wide range of activities and events that will further direct visitors to the external pavilions.
