in 1963, established the concept of Novo Naselje. In early 1978 Dr. Natalija Nataša Reba was appointed, as deputy director of the Construction Land Institute, as the head of social-oriented construction in Novo Naselje, and her husband Blagoje Reba (1938-2002) designed a large number of the housing units in Novo Naselje. The first buildings outside of the Satelit neighborhood were constructed in Bate Brkića street (today's 18-26 street numbers) by the Neimar enterprise (which would be responsible for most of the building construction in the coming decades). Those first high rises were wide buildings, with 8 stories of residential apartments as well as space for local shops, craftsmen, merchants and lodges. From 1978, construction continued after a short pause. In late February, rapid snow melt would cause underground water issues, due to the neighborhood being located in a wetland environment. In some areas the water was half a meter deep, with some buildings (A-4) having its foundations submerged in a pool of water. The city would place several cisterns that would continuously pump out the water until the issue was resolved. Out of 25 residential buildings that were being constructed, 14 of them were being built in the then new IMV Žeželj system, which was used in the construction of buildings in Liman III and IV. The "Bačkopalanačkog odreda" Road (Bačkopalanačkog Squad) was the main road in this neighborhood. Most of the major buildings were constructed along that road. With new building methods, this street would expand into a boulevard, being renamed into the Jovana Dučića Boulevard in 1991. While the first buildings were finished in November 1978, with final technical admissions and processes being done for obtaining licenses for use. There were delays to connect the buildings to the city heating system that were resolved in February, with the construction of the first neighborhood Heating station (19 February with heated water; 24 February with headed rooms). On 19 March 1979, the first residence moved in building A1-4 with 54 apartments. The second building, A1-3, would have its residence move in several days later. In April, building A2-2 with 126 apartments. Novi Sad bank would move in building A1-1. The post office and flower shop moved in building A1-2 where they are located to this day. Concerted mass construction reached its peak between 1978 and 1980. This was also a period when the settlement received its present constitution. At that
