  • HISTORY of ROMANIAN TECHNOLOGY and INDUSTRY a Short Presentation of the Treatise
    HISTORY OF ROMANIAN TECHNOLOGY AND INDUSTRY A short presentation of the treatise DOREL BANABIC Abstract. Along the decades, the history of Romanian technology has been tackled in Romanian specialised literature in several books authored by historians, engineers, industrialists, and sociologists. Nevertheless, it is scarcely known outside the borders of Romania. This is due, among other reasons, to the insufficient popularisation in widely spoken languages of the history of Romanian technology and main Romanian contributions to the world’s technological heritage. Romania is mentioned in encyclopaedias of the history of technology and of world inventions especially for its contributions in the fields of aviation and aeronautics. Such publications leave out numerous names of Romanian engineers and inventors who have had significant contributions to the development of Romanian and global technology. The History of Romanian Technology and Industry treatise aims to contribute to promoting the valuable achievements of Romanian technology both at home and abroad (through its English edition). Key words: History, Technology, Industry. 1. INTRODUCTION The History of Romanian Technology and Industry treatise was published in Romanian in the Romanian Civilization series of the Romanian Academy Publishing House (see below) (https://academiaromana.ro/sectii/sectia08_tehnica/ doc2020/IstoriaTehnicii/24IstoriaTehnicii-Vol1.pdf; https://academiaromana.ro/sectii/ sectia08_tehnica/doc2020/IstoriaTehnicii/25IstoriaTehnicii-Vol2.pdf). The treatise will be published in English in 2020. It consists of two volumes titled as follows: The History of Mechanics, Processing Technologies and Construction and The History of Electrical Engineering, Energetics, Transport and Engineering Education, respectively. Each volume comprises multiple chapters pertaining to the fields specified in the subtitle. Technical University of Cluj Napoca, Cluj Napoca, Romania Ro.

  • Creative City and Urban Development – Competitiveness Through Culture
    Humanities and Social Sciences Review, CD-ROM. ISSN: 2165-6258 :: 01(02):491–504 (2012) CREATIVE CITY AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT – COMPETITIVENESS THROUGH CULTURE. SIBIU IN THE CONTEXT OF UNESCO CREATIVE CITIES NETWORK Ruxandra-Irina Popescu and Răzvan-Andrei Corboú Academy of Economic Studies, Bucharest, Romania The present context seems to indicate that one of the major drivers for cities’ economic development is human creativity, expressed through the production and consumption of unique cultural experiences. Consequently, academic literature presents and debates the creative city concept as an urban complex in which various cultural activities are an integrant element that contributes to the well function of economic and social systems. Creative cities work as centres that explore cultural experiences in favour of residents and visitors, by presenting cultural patrimony goods or through their cultural activities in the theatre and visual arts field. These facts have led to the establishment of an institutionalized framework, UNESCO Creative Cities Network, which facilitates the development of cultural groups, know-how, experience and good practices transfer, with the aim of promoting local economic and social development through creative industries. Our paper presents positive experiences of several creative cities from the United Kingdom, with the purpose of identifying the advantages generated by the UNESCO Creative Cities Network membership. Moreover, we analyse the possibility for the city of Sibiu, the European Cultural Capital in 2007, to become a member of this Network, due to its strengths and opportunities that might be highlighted in an urban development context. Keywords: Urban culture, Creative cities, Creative industries, UNESCO creative cities network, Urban development.
