Julino Brdo

Julino Brdo is the northernmost tip of Žarkovo neighborhood, located between the neighborhoods of Čukarica in the north, Banovo Brdo in the east and northeast, Žarkovo in the south and Makiš in the west. Žarkovo's sub-neighborhood of Zmajevac is to the southwest while Sunčana Padina and Repište are to the southeast.[1][2]

The name of the hill appeared after 1950.[3]

The neighborhood comprises one circular street surrounded by another three streets closing a triangle around the circle.[1][2] As Julino Brdo consists of several high skyscrapers on the top of a hill, the neighborhood is clearly visible from lower parts of Belgrade, especially across the Sava river, e.g. (Novi Beograd and Zemun).

For several decades, Julino Brdo constituted one of the local communities, sub-municipal administrative units, within the municipality of Čukarica. It was officially named Julino Brdo at first (1981 census), but was later renamed to Poručnika Spasića i Mašere. According to the censuses, it had a population of 6,998 in 1981, 6,702 in 1991 and 6,683 in 2002. Prior to the 2011 census, it merged with the local communities of Bele Vode and Staro Žarkovo into the local community of Žarkovo.[4][5][6][7]

There are facilities of Belgrade waterworks constructed in the area (Hydro-technical knot Julino Brdo), including the first above-ground reservoirs for drinking water in Serbia and two tunnels (T-1 and T-1-T2) for water conduction to central Belgrade (Tašmajdan). The expansion of the waterworks facility Makiš-Julino Brdo-Banovo Brdo will encompass two more, larger reservoirs and a new tunnel (T-2) which will conduct water to Košutnjak and Topčider.
