The city of Podgorica has initiated several urban development and planning projects. Initially, the city issued a public tender for the redesign of Independence Square, aiming to create a more modern, green, and accessible space by addressing flaws in the 2006 design, such as uneven terrain and inadequate shade.

Following this, the city established the Agency for the Development of Local Planning Documents to oversee future growth through a new Spatial-Urban Plan. This agency will prioritize community needs like green spaces, parking, and infrastructure. Additionally, the Agency for the Construction and Development of Podgorica contracted a firm to design a new multifunctional Fair and Congress Center in the ‘Agroindustrijska zona’ area.
