Key Takeaways
In Serbia, urbanization grew gradually from 50.4% in 1990 to 57.1% in 2023, highlighting a steady rural-to-urban migration influenced by social and economic factors. The early 1990s saw limited growth due to political instability and the dissolution of Yugoslavia, which led to a slowdown in economic activity. However, from the late 1990s onward, urbanization increased as people moved to cities seeking better employment and education opportunities. This trend persisted into the 2000s, aided by economic reforms and EU-focused development efforts that improved urban infrastructure. The rate reached 57.1% by 2023 as Serbia's cities became increasingly important hubs for commerce and culture. As more residents pursued urban living to access modern amenities and job markets, urbanization became central to Serbia's development trajectory.
