Mirijevo (Serbian Cyrillic: Миријево, pronounced [mǐrijɛʋɔ]) is an urban neighborhood of Belgrade, Serbia.
It extends into the neighborhoods of Ćalije on the north, Zvezdara on the west and Mali Mokri Lug (Zeleno Brdo) on the south.
As a result, the movement of the land is today completely halted and Mirijevo is considered as the most successful project of fixing the mass wasting problem in Belgrade.
The creek of Bulbuderski potok was channeled and the construction of the houses began while the gardeners were transferred to Mirijevo.
Movement which gained momentum during the ongoing protest from the local population against construction of the power transformer in the center of the neighborhood from the late 1990s.
In April 2008 grassy area between the Mirijevski venac and Radivoja Markovića streets was projected as the future and first real park in the neighborhood.
As majority of the original inhabitants were truck or bus drivers, the settlement is colloquially named Šoferski Raj (Chauffeur’s Paradise).
It developed without building permits and lacks the basic communal infrastructure like street lights, public transportation, grocery shops, proper power grid, etc.
[17] Forested hill of Bajdina is located south of Mirijevo, separating it from Mali Mokri Lug.
This area, however, includes small parts of already urbanized neighborhood of Mirijevo IV, so Bajdina is almost uninhabited.
[18] The protesters also said that Mirijevo has one only promenade-like pathway, and one proper park, so that Bajdina should be transformed into the park-forest, eventually with sports and recreational zones, swimming pools, etc.
Additionally, when city changed its general urban plan in 2016, all green areas in Mirijevo were declared a building locations.
[19][20] It was pointed out that such large wooded area is beneficial to Belgrade's microclimate, and that Bajdina makes sort of a buffer zone between the city and its landfill in Vinča.
[20][21] Mirijevo was badly connected to the rest of the city, mostly through the narrow streets in Zvezdara (Milana Rakića, Mite Ružića) bringing heavy traffic to the Bulevar Kralja Aleksandra.
In the late 1990s, the idea of constructing the Mirijevo Boulevard (Serbian: Миријевски булевар, romanized: Mirijevski bulevar), in the north-to-south direction was proposed, which would connect Mirijevo to the Višnjička street on the north, thus connecting it to the Rospi Ćuprija, Karaburma, Bogoslovija and further with the downtown.
It included the construction of the final 1 km (0.62 mi) of the boulevard, intersections with the Mirijevo's cross streets, sidewalks, city lights and the 1.25 km (0.78 mi) long underground concrete collector which conducted the stream of Mirijevski potok underground.
