Abstract: This study is intended to provide a preliminary insight into the potential role of floating buildings in redefining residential development in Belgrade. Increasing urban density and land scarcity have encouraged the exploration of alternative housing models, among which floating structures have gained attention due to their adaptability and sustainability. Drawing upon previous research on urban riverfronts and floating typologies, this paper outlines the key environmental, regulatory, and socio-economic dimensions relevant to Belgrade. In addition to theoretical analysis, the research includes a site visit to the Ijburg floating housing project in Amsterdam, complemented by a comparative overview of European case studies. The findings are expected to serve as a foundation for continued interdisciplinary research and strategic urban planning along Belgrade’s waterfront.
