A Potential Development Program for Bucharest

Abstract

Bucharest went through a lot: wars, natural disasters or, even worse, people who have succeeded on its leadership. However, although crippled, deformed, it kept the most precious treasure: the people and their willingness to change, to make history. Bucharest never had a coherent development program, a set of priorities assumed by the community to be implemented by public authorities, regardless of political color. Each mandate, each newly elected local official started from scratch, abandoning old projects. This article aims to summarize the main ideas of city development, identified in national, regional or local programmes.
