Patrimoniul arhitectural din Zonele Construite Protejate ale Bucureștiului, între protecție și ignoranță
Architectural heritage in the protected built areas of Bucharest, between protection and ignorance

Summary/Abstract: For more than three decades, the built heritage of Bucharest’ historical areas is in an advanced state of degradation, being constantly threatened by abandonment, mutilation and abusive demolition. Moreover, contemporary interventions in the protected areas of Romania’s capital city seem to elude the legislation regarding the protection of built heritage and the urban planning regulations, generating fundamental transformations in the structure of the urban fabric, but also the loss of cultural identity. For the moment, the critical situation of the architectural heritage of Bucharest does not seem to have a solution, despite the numerous alarm signals made by a series of organizations concerned with its fate. This paper tries to provide a series of answers regarding the wide spread phenomenon of Bucharest’s cityscape degradation, but also possible solutions for the coherent development of these urban areas.
