description The aim of the paper is to investigate the urban heritage of the Sunce (Sun) settlement in New Belgrade. A historical methodology was applied to the work. Alongside background research of previous literature and materials related to the topic of the Sunce settlement, the research was divided into four large units, each of which contribute to an understanding of the urban heritage. The four research perspectives (theoretical, urban, architectural and ecological) overlap and complement one another, evidencing the complexity of the situation in which Sunce finds itself, half a century after its construction, in a completely altered context in terms of its relationship to public space. Higher-order plans were also studied, as well as the competition for Blocks 45 and 70, on the basis of which the Sunce settlement was designed and implemented. The architecture itself is investigated, alongside the applied design principles of the Belgrade School of Housing. Through the research of theoretical ideas on urbanism, from Hilbersheimer to Van Eyck, it is recognized that structuralism is the most dominant principle championed throughout the planning of the Sunce settlement. The hierarchy of public spaces and the creation of cohesive centers is considered both an authentic element and the greatest attribute of the planning and design strategy, as well as a major urban characteristic of the Sunce blocks.
