Some Considerations on the Sustainable Urban Development in Romania

(Promoting an integrated approach is important for sustainable urban development. Most priorities identified during 2007-2013 were not achieved due to the global financial crisis, but also because of the lack of mature projects concerning regional development. As during the previous period, much development needs remain unresolved, including the level of high pollution in the urban areas, vacant, unused and degraded urban areas corresponding to the cities of Romania, as well as valuable resources of cultural heritage which are poorly capitalized. ROP continues during 2014-2020 with a strategic vision on regional development in Romania, contained in the 2007-2013 National Development Plan (NDP), in the National Strategic Reference Framework 2007- 2013 (NSRF) and the POS R for 2014 -2020. The POR program will receive 6.7 billion Euros.
