Consideraţii de ordin demografic privind oraşul românesc între 1960-1975

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper is to provide an overview of the changes in the Romanian society, which took place at the official establishment of the Communist Regime. The analysis is based, on the one hand, on the changes and transformations of the Romanian city in the 1960s and the 1970s, and on the other hand on a series of demographic considerations. The Romanian city is confronted with a series of major transformations during the communist period, made in view of sustaining the urban policy of the Party. Therefore, the 1960s and the first part of the 1970’s reflect urban continuity, leading to the appearance of districts of blocks. The urban aspect was changed due to the policy of demolishing old buildings and the appearance of new economical and cultural edifices in the analysed space. The demographic analysis is based on the urban and rural environment observing an increase in the total population, including in the urban one. The demographic increase was caused by many factors, among which a liberal state policy, as well as the return to a certain state of social normality.
