The area of Niš, the third Serbian most populated city, has a dynamic topography. Located in a valley crossed by several rivers, surrounded by hills and plains, the rural settlements around the city, that were administratively integrated into it, are extremely diverse. The consequences of such variety are many, reflecting on residential block concepts and increasing everyday challenges in urban planning. In this paper, we analyzed the three villages for which urban plans were done for the first time in 2023. These settlements are located within a radius of about 10 km from the city center. This paper is a scientific elaboration of the urban plans that were presented as a single exhibit at the annual International Salon of Urbanism, held in the Republic of Serbia, and was awarded by the Association of Urban Planners of Serbia in 2023.
