Bistrica, Novi Sad
The neighbouring settlements are: Jugovićevo in the north, Veternička Rampa in the west, Telep in the south, and Sajmište and Detelinara in the east.[3] According to old maps from the 16th and 17th centuries, the old Serbian village of Bistrica existed in the area of today's Novi Sad, before the city was founded in 1694.Among other things, the name appears on the map of the famous Flemish cartographer Gerardus Mercator (1512-1594), who placed the cartography on a strictly scientific basis.It is indisputable that there were two larger forests in the area of today's Bistrica neighborhood during the Middle Ages: Gornja (Upper) and Donja (Lower).The first issues that came with the legal rights to use this space came after 1748, when Novi Sad became the free royal city with its own administration.After the elongations, Novi Sad residence would make the Donje Forest into a picnic ground, 6 kilometers away from the center of the city.In the Hungarian Rebellion (or the Serbian Movement), between 1848 and 1849, the Donje forest was severely damaged due to extensive logging.In 1877, a section was set aside for the Bostanluk, but due to the pressures of mostly the Rotkvarija residence, the forest was increasingly shrinking and slowly disappearing.Accounts from older Novi Sad residence tell of three poplar trees that were the last remnant of the Donje forest that were cut down after World War II when Jugoalat was built.[5] According to the book by Dr. Slobodan Ćurčić (Naselja Bačke - geografske karakteristike, Novi Sad, 2007), houses existed in the eastern part of today's Satelit neighborhood as early as 1952.Those first high rises were wide buildings, with 8 stories of residential apartments as well as space for local shops, craftsmen, merchants and lodges.In late February, rapid snow melt would cause underground water issues, due to the neighborhood being located in a wetland environment.[7] At the end of 1978 began the construction of the second school in the neighborhood by the plans of architect Albert Josipović[8] from the Institute of Physical Culture of Vojvodina.They would be a noticeable feature of the neighborhood when entering from its south side from Slobodana Jovanovića Boulevard until they were placed underground sometime in the early 2010s.Budućnost enterprise would be responsible for placing the foundations for the church of the Translation of the relics of Saint Sava (Serbian: Преноса моштију Светог Саве, Prenosa moštiju Svetog Save) in 1996.Several road extensions for Jovana Dučića Boulevard were done, connecting the neighborhood with Veternik with Dragoslava Srejovića street.By the General Urban Plan of Novi Sad for 2030, the remaining empty land areas in Bistrica and its surrounding neighborhoods are planned to be filled with new apartment blocks, public leisure and sports parks, schools, recreational centers, fire and police stations, commercial and business buildings, and cultural centers (museums, galleries, libraries, and other gathering areas for local cultural events).Most of the newly planned constructions would shrink the remaining heavily tree covered green spaces around the neighborhood, with parts of the current tree nursery garden marked as a construction zone, as well as shrinking the green spaces next to the Subotica Boulevard (Europe Boulevard).In Jugovićevo, a neighborhood closely linked with Bistrica, an eco-neighborhood is planned with a park-forest, despite the area having low tree cover and historically being a wetland with underground water issues.The neighborhood has numerous privately owned bakeries, restaurants, and cafes, showcasing typical Serbian and international food and drinks.[21][22] In the western part of Bistrica is the seat of Javno Gradsko Saobraćajno Preduzeće (the cities public transportation company).During the COVID-19 pandemic, the health center was made as the main respiratory ambulance for the city, as well as the primary location to get vaccine shots for the virus.While Bistrica has numerous public green spaces between buildings due to the urban planning of the 1970s and 1980s, the neighborhood also has several parks.Originally, a sports center and a local swimming pool were planned at the corner of the Boulevards of Jovana Dučića and Bate Brkića, but the construction was halted since 2006 with no clear indication of when it would continue.
