It is obvious that the Belgrade municipality undertakes extensive works for the
arrangement of the town and for the increasing of the level of its public services.

similar to the European capitals, like Budapest, for example.^67 The streets are
still paved with the inherited stone-paving. However in 1886, the Dubrovačka

cubes, too. The water supply for the town is provided from 20 town fountains,Fig. 9
