I am not convinced that the buildings were a great addition - modern buildings tend to be built to the false premise that doing something completely different will make the place better. On the contrary, what makes many great cities great is the careful architecture inside a vernacular. Combine with what appears to be the typical disease of making huge roads and encouraging car traffic and I predict belgrade will lose its charm and livability. Hopefully the food will remain good.

The problem is perhaps the lack of public transport and a mistaken belief in the value of cars in cities.
I wish Australia would uses its money on building up its public transport and densifying its cities. The more I live in the dense urban parts of the world, the more I appreciate them.
Farmers markets were just taking off 2 years ago in Melbourne but they mostly hadn't worked out the important part that you need to run every week to be useful.
Of course living in Brisbane you'll struggle a bit to get strawberries and tomatoes as they are cool season fruits (more so apples and pears). On the other hand, you can try more tropical fruit and veg. Jerry Colby-Williams has done quite a bit on growing food in Brisbane on Gardening Australia.
