The main railway station in Romania is Gara de Nord, or North Station, which provides connections to all major cities in Romania as well as international destinations. Gara de Nord is situated in Sector 1 and it is linked by metro, buses, trolley buses and tram lines to the rest of the town. Bucharest is also a major intersection of Romania's national road network. It is the origin of most of the country's national roads and expressways, which link the city to all of Romania's major cities as well as to neighbouring countries. Sector 1 is crossed by the main road which leads into National Road number 1 (DN1), passing through Baneasa village, Otopeni village and reaching Ploiesti (60 kms from Bucharest). This road is already part of an European network and is undergoing enlargement to three lanes per way. It will be part of the Bucharest – Bors expressway after Brasov – Bors expressway is finalised. The Autostrada Transilvania Project is a four-lane, 415-kilometer highway, stretching northwest from Brasov in central Romania to Oradea on the country's border with Hungary. The motorway will connect the cities of Brasov, Fagaras, Sighisoara, Targu Mures, Cluj Napoca, and Oradea, skirting the Carpathian Mountains on a high plateau, some 1,000-meters above sea level. This 2.2 billion construction project will be completed by 2012. During the period May - June 2006, the Sector 1 City Hall finalised the rehabilitation and modernisation of the road infrastructure on 21 streets in Sector 1. Also, at the present, there are in progress the works to lay new road surface on other 78 streets. The investment program of the Sector 1 City Hall for the period May 2006 - May 2007 includes the rehabilitation and modernisation of the road infrastructure on 300 streets, sidewalks and alleys located between the blocks. Regarding the modernisation of Vatra Noua and Straulesti areas, there is a program developed by the Sector 1 City Hall and the Bucharest City Hall, with World Bank financing. The works will start during the next period of time, after the finalising of the procedures related to the designing, authorisation and international tender. The program includes the water supply, the sewerage and the modernisation of road system in these areas. According to the Sector 1 Mayor’s officials, this is one of the most important investment programs developed in the Sector 1 in the last years. During this year, the majority of the Report produced by FRD Center Romania – www.frdcenter.ro 4 funds available at the local budget were used for the works to enlarge, repair and upgrade the road infrastructure and to provide the sewerage and the water supply. The City Hall target is that until the end of 2007 to reduce significantly the number of streets without asphalt, water supply and sewerage. During 2006 there were finalised the works of repair and modernisation of Aurel Vlaicu Farmers Market, the total investment reaching the amount of 700,000 RON, the funds being obtained from the local budget. Also, there are in progress the works to build a new hall located in Matache Farmers Market, works that will be finalised until the end of 2006. The total investment is of 1 million Euro, the funds being obtained through a credit from a commercial bank.

  • Note Regarding the Dissolution of the Working
    NOTE REGARDING THE DISSOLUTION OF THE WORKING POINT OF SC FONDUL PROPRIETATEA SA IN 15 CALEA VICTORIEI, ENTRANCE E, 2nd FLOOR, SECTOR 3, BUCHAREST SUBJECT TO THE APPROVAL OF THE EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS DATED 29 NOVEMBER 2010 Taking into consideration the provisions of the Articles of incorporation of SC Fondul Proprietatea SA regarding the headquarter relocation, as well as letter no. 16651 of 18 August 2010 sent by the Romanian National Securities Commission, the former Directorate of the company decided to move the registered office from 17 Apolodor St., sector 5, Bucharest (the building where the headquarter of the Ministry of Public Finance is located), to 63-81 Calea Buzesti, 7th floor, sector 1, Bucharest, according to the rental contract signed between SC Fondul Proprietatea SA and Franklin Templeton Investment Management Limited United Kingdom, Bucharest Branch, on 29 July 2010. Upon establishment, the office of SC Fondul Proprietatea SA was in the same building as the headquarter of the Ministry of Public Finance, because the Ministry of Public Finance was a sole shareholder and no other headquarter was identified. In fact, the activity of SC Fondul Proprietatea SA has been developed at several working points, such as at World Trade Center and at Bucharest Financial Plaza, even since 2006. At present, the address of Bucharest Financial Plaza is registered with the National Trade Register Office as working point, although the rental contract expired on 30 June 2010. Having regard that the existence of the working point of SC Fondul Proprietatea SA in 15 Calea Victoriei, entrance E, 2nd floor, sector 3, Bucharest is no longer justified, as the rental contract expired, as well as the fact that, it is more organizationally efficient for the relation with shareholders, public institutions, our collaborators, as well as with any other third party to be managed from a single point (e.g.

Nicolae Bălcescu, Bucharest 010041, Romania; [email protected] (M.N.); [email protected] (B.S.); [email protected] (E.M.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +40-21-305-3844 Received: 1 October 2019; Accepted: 4 November 2019; Published: 6 November 2019 Abstract: This paper presents a geographical perspective of the phenomena of housing activism and land-use conflicts per se. It focuses not only on their spatial manifestations, but also on the complexity of the perceived meanings, values, and the power relationships among the involved parties, rooting into activist geographies. The research methodology was based on two complementary methods: frame analysis to observe the emergence, sources of land-use conflicts, and nature of the relationships between the actors involved; and discourse analysis to explore the social interactions and power relations between structures and practices related to housing activism. For a more inclusive perspective on the sources of land-use conflicts and housing activism initiatives in Bucharest, we used a combination and triangulation of various sources and modes of data collection. Compared with other European cities with active civic engagement, this phenomenon is still emerging in Bucharest. Although conflicts are numerous, the civic initiatives are still fragmented and fail to generate a vision and implementable public policy. However, multiple assaults on urban spaces (green areas, historically protected areas) have resulted in more actions and actors (individual or organised) becoming civically engaged.

Ghettos represent an urban stain of color, a special morphologic framework. The Bucharest “ghettos” appeared by a spatial concentration of Roma population and of poverty in zones with a precarious infrastructure. The inhabitants of these areas (Zăbrăuţi, Aleea Livezilor, Iacob Andrei, Amurgului and Valea Cascadelor) are somehow constrained to live in such spaces, mainly because of lack of income, education and because of their low professional qualification. These weak points or handicaps exclude the ghetto population from social participation and from getting access to urban zones with good habitations.

  • Arguments for Integrative Management of Protected Areas In
    Available online at www.sciencedirect.com ScienceDirect Procedia Environmental Sciences 32 ( 2016 ) 80 – 96 International Conference – Environment at a Crossroads: SMART approaches for a sustainable future Arguments for Integrative Management of Protected Areas in the Cities – Case Study in Bucharest City Gabriela Manea, Elena Matei, Iuliana Vijulie, Laura Tîrlă, Roxana Cuculici, Octavian Coco ș, Adrian Tișcovschi* University of Bucharest, Nicolae Bălcescu Boulevard, sector 1, Bucharest, 010041, Romania Abstract Protected areas should be considered as a complementary form of anthropogenic environmental intervention geared towards restoring its balance by removing the causes of its visible degradation. Taking into consideration the IUCN Red List of Ecosystems, the aim of the study is to argue the importance of integrative management of urban protected areas, based on a case study with respect to the Romanian capital (Văcăreşti wetland, in the built-up area of Bucharest city). The study objects are: addressing the conceptual issues of protected areas and in particular in urban areas; analyzing the geographical evolution of the study area (since 1700), as a determinant of the present situation; highlighting the relationships among biodiversity, ecosystem services, public use and social perception, as strong arguments in favor of the integrative management of the investigated territory. The research methodology was focused on reviewing national and international literature regarding protected areas (especially urban ones); a diachronic analysis of the study area identifying the evolution of human-environment relationships over historical times; applying the survey method in order to analyze the target group perceptions on the constraints and opportunities stemming from the urban protected area status of theVăcăreşti wetland.
