Adzic, Nebojsa & Branislav Gregovic
Powerpoint presentation.
In the past 20 years overall development of Montenegro took place in a complex political, economic, social and cultural circumstances. Intensive inclusion into the European mainstream and institutional framework and under the pressure of the modern phenomenon of globalization has led to specific changes in urban development and the identity space. Globalization promotes the standardization which includes architecture and culture of space at the same time. Changes in the fields of economics and politics in Montenegro are caused mainly by an increase of internal migration even to this day have not been broken. Migration is taking place in three regions in Montenegro: the Northern, Central and Coastal. Population density in these regions is uneven, and ranges of 26.0 people per square meter in the North region, 56.8 people per square meter in the Central region to 91.8 in the Coastal region. Northern region covers about 53% of the territory of Montenegro, while in Podgorica, the capital city and administrative center is about 27% of the total population, (169,132.0 to 620,145.0 people). In urban areas of living up about 62% of the total population. Tourism, as a major economic sector, is the cause of the development and population growth in the Coastal region. The capital of Podgorica is rapidly evolving in the last 10 years, with visible increase of population in relation to the Northern Region, which features a marked depopulation. For example two tourist centres, Budva in the south , and Zabljak in the north, and Podgorica, the largest urban group, will be analyzed and defined specific phenomena, and phenomena that led to a new spatial identity and the urban-rural relations in Montenegro. In these circumstances, tourism, as a major economic sector, becomes the consumer of space instead of the leading factor in processes of creating a new urban identity.
