    THE SOCIO-SPATIAL DIMENSION OF THE BUCHAREST GHETTOS Viorel MIONEL Silviu NEGUŢ Viorel MIONEL Assistant Professor, Department of Economics History and Geography, Faculty of International Business and Economics, Academy of Economic Studies, Bucharest, Romania Tel.: 0040-213-191.900 Email: [email protected] Abstract Based on a socio-spatial analysis, this paper aims at drawing the authorities’ attention on a few Bucharest ghettos that occurred after the 1990s.

The Email: [email protected] dynamics and the urban evolution of Bucharest have affected the community life, especially the community homogeneity intensely desired during the communist regime by the occurrence of socially marginalized spaces or ghettos as their own inhabitants call them. 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.

  • Planul Integrat De Dezvoltare Urbana (Pidu)
    Bucharest Central Area Integrated Urban Development Plan 1. Recovering the urban identity for the Central area. Today, for many inhabitants, the historic center means only the Lipscani area, which is a simplification of history. We are trying to revitalize and reconnect the different areas which constitute the center of Bucharest, from Victory Square to Carol Park, having the quality of urban life for city residents as a priority and trying to create a city brand for tourists and investors. 2. Recovering the central area located south of the Dambovita river. Almost a quarter of surveyed Bucharest residents had not heard of areas like Antim or Uranus, a result of the brutal urban interventions of the 1980s when, after intense demolitions, fragments of the old town have become enclaves hidden behind the high- rise communist buildings. Bridges over Dambovita disappeared, and whole areas south of the river are now lifeless. We want to reconnect the torn urban tissue and redefine the area located south of Dambovita. recover this part of town by building pedestrian bridges over the river and reconstituting the old ways of Rahovei and Uranus streets as a pedestrian and bicycle priority route. 3. Model of sustainable alternative transportation. Traffic is a major problem for the Bucharest city center. The center should not be a transit area through Bucharest and by encouraging the development of rings and the outside belt, car traffic in the downtown area can easily decrease. We should prioritize alternative forms of transportation - for decades used on a regular basis by most European cities: improve transportation connections and establish a network of streets with priority for cyclists and pedestrians to cross the Center.

R3L+ National Background Report ‐ RO R3L+ Country Report ROMANIA Research Team: Dr. Magda Balica Dr. Ciprian Fartusnic Dr. Mihaela Jigau Dr. Irina Horga 1. General information on the region, main decision-making structures and learning region approach In Romania the regional level emerged in the public policymaking only after 1989, when escaping a hyper-centralised system of government and under the influence of the accession process to EU. The regional development is regulated by Law 315/2004, stating the way regional policies are put in place and the specific functions and the roles of different bodies in this area. Eight development regions were defined, partly following historical regions of Romania (see map below). The main regional development structures in Romania were created: the Regional Development Board and Regional Development Agency (at region level) and National Council for Regional Development and Ministry of Regional Development and Tourism (at national level). This report is focused on a network acting in the Regional Development Agency Bucharest-Ilfov. As all other regional agencies, this is a non- governmental and not for profit public utility institution, with legal personality. It is the executive body of the Council for Regional Development Bucharest-Ilfov (CDRBI), in whose coordination is.
