The New Belgrade City Hall (Skupština opštine Novi Beograd) is the municipal administrative centre for the New Belgrade district — a compact modernist building that anchors local government within the largely residential urban fabric of this planned city. Its architecture is characteristic of the Yugoslav municipal buildings of the 1970s: concrete, direct, and scaled to function rather than grandeur.

New Belgrade was always a city within a city, administratively distinct from old Belgrade across the Sava. The city hall gave it a civic focal point — a place where the abstraction of the numbered-block grid could be translated into local government and community life. The building's modesty relative to the scale of the district it serves reflects the Yugoslav ideal of decentralised administration: governance close to the people, in buildings that do not overawe.
