Nowadays, there are many "global – concepts and models, which individually strive to give a unique solution on current international issues. The concept of resilience is probably one of the most known concepts, which have gained an attention since the economic crisis from 2008. Since then, this immense global challenge redirected general focus at all tiers from "faith – in unstoppable progress to more desirable stabilisation and preparedness.
Being the major places for the mentioned global challenges, cities across the World have suffered from the crisis. Therefore, it is meaningful that they have profoundly embraced the postulates of resilience, transforming them with "urban – footprint – urban resilience. The creation of the significant concept of and its implementation has been in the agenda of many international organisations and major cities.
However, the concept of urban resilience is still a novelty, which accompanying problems. This is particularly true in the case of implementation. And, this is very important for urban design, as a part of urbanism which is very connected to concrete functioning in situ. Hence, a lot of work has been done internationally to customise the concept of urban resilience to the design level. But, many elements about resilient urban design, from basic principles to concrete implementation, are still in progress.
This "implementability – of urban resilience in urban design is an issue for Serbia. As a postsocialist country, it has witnessed various problems and general inconsistency. With the strong motive to cope with them, local authorities and institutions often try to directly implement foreignarisen concepts and knowledge, without local adaptation. The results of this pressure are usually questionable. There-fore, the aim of this paper is to present how the principles of resilient urban design are tailored and in which form they can be used in Serbian conditions. The final contribution of the paper is foreseen in the style of guidelines for local implementation.
