Not all shrinking cities are similar – a trajectory typologies and diversity of urban shrinkage in Serbia
Апстракт
Shrinking cities have become almost ubiquitous during the long transition of post-social Serbia,
but the trajectory of urban shrinkage is both spatially and temporary uneven. Since the middle of
the 20th century, various patterns of urban population development of cities in Serbia have been
observed. The very first cities to record a decline in the total population appeared in the 1960s,
but in recent years the majority of cities experienced drastic shrinkage. Since the process of
urban shrinkage does not follow a universal pattern, typological classification of cities is of great
importance in understanding and delineating the variety of cities shrinking over time. Urban
shrinkage trajectory typologies classify cities that have experienced population loss by the path
of their population change over time. Set against this background, this paper offers evidence on
urban population change, to assess their demographic transformation over the studied period
from the 196...1 to 2020. The aim of this paper is to reveal the diversity of shrinking cities in
Serbia. In this study, we conducted an analysis about population change of 167 urban
settlements in Serbia. Towards understanding and comparing the transformation of cities, the
typology was performed. Thus, it was possible to distinguish cities with population growth and 5
types of shrinking cities, all of them with various features of urban shrinkage – cities with longterm shrinkage, cities with episodic shrinkage, cities with recent shrinkage, potentially shrinking cities and resurgence cities. Thereby, the outcome of the paper will be the step towards the comprehension of transformations of cities and divergences or similarities between shrinking
cities in Serbia. The results are important for a better understanding of the spatio‐temporal
patterns and the main factors driving urban shrinkage and its regional differentiation in different historical contexts.
