Building projects in Bucharest at the turn of the 20th century between delay and abandonment

Summary/Abstract: During the last decade of the 19th century, several large-scale architecture projects were launched in Bucharest, dealing with outstanding public edifices. Unfortunately, the insufficient financial resources repeatedly forced the mayorship and the Government to postpone, or even abandon for good, the accomplishment of a number of these works, although in some cases all the necessary demarches had been already carried out. Additionally, for lack of a coherent strategy on the capital city development, several urban interventions, deemed as vital in terms of city modernization, were irrevocably given up.
