AB  - This research examines the spatial transformations of postsocialist cities in the context of the polarized national urban system. Focusing on two different periods (1990–2000 and 2000–2014/2015), we study the patterns of spatial changes in 15 selected cities in Serbia in terms of urban sprawl, densification, and urban shrinkage. Using an open-source database, we analyze the relationship between the built-up area, population, and urban density to identify the types and trajectories of spatial transformations. Our results show that urban sprawl characterizes cities with growing/stable populations and those with declining populations but with different scales and dynamics over time. Despite the distinct trend of population decline, no cities were marked by compact shrinkage. Nevertheless, we identify a significant decrease in the annual change rates of the built-up area throughout the latter period in all cities, indicating a possible future decline in inefficient outward expansion. We also observed that this period gave rise to the imbalance between the pace of spatial growth of large cities and medium-sized cities. The obtained spatial patterns fit into the framework of Serbia's asymmetric urban system, with sprawl shrinkage as dominant phenomenon in urban centres ranking lower in the urban system hierarchy and less frequent sprawl growth in major urban centres. Our research results could ignite a process of redefining urban and land policies towards more efficient land use.

AB  - The long-term exposure to PM2.5 (particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter ≤ 2.5 μm) is the leading global health risk factor. The spatio-temporal variability of annual values of the total PM2.5 concentrations in Serbia is analyzed using the high-resolution (0.01° × 0.01°) gridded data set V4.EU.02 for the period 2001–2016. Population counts and density data were used to calculate the population exposure while the urban land cover data were used to estimate the relations between the size of urban area and the concentration of PM2.5. The mean annual values vary in the range 13.93 μg/m3 –28.91 μg/m3 . The regional differences exist, but the highest values were obtained for urban environments (> 22.5 μg/m3 ). Negative trend of annual PM2.5 is present in most of the parts of the Serbian territory, especially in the eastern parts reaching –0.37 μg/m3 per year (p ≤ .05). More than 99% of the territory of Serbia has the mean annual values under the national safe limit established by regulation (25 μm/m3 ), but comparing to the World Health Organization (WHO) guideline (10 μm/m3 ), all the territory is above the safe level. In line with the trend of urbanization, there is a clear upward trend in the number of population exposed to the higher concentrations of PM2.5. The share of the population exposed to values higher than 25 μg/m3 increased from 6.65% in 2005 to 11.40% in 2015, while comparing to WHO standard, the total population in Serbia is exposed to the values higher than the safe one.
